Oh, OK I think I see it. The pics not real good because it's hard to get a camera in there, but I'll try to describe it's position. I see the lines stamped on the pulley, and then I see a "20". The bracket is as far away from the first line, to the left of the line, as the 20 is from the first line.

now we are getting somewhere

Try to clean the rotating part off below the pointer. Come straight out from the straight part of the pointer. Can you see what number (or marking) is lined up with the straight part? That is the degrees the crank is at. Line it up where the straight mark is lined up with the line that is at what looks like "TD" (may look like "TO"). That is TDC. Now you want to adjust the chain at the cam spkt where those marks line up.
