No mark on the sprocket is necessary. You set timing when you install the distributor. There is a timing mark on the distributor for this purpose. You set the engine to 0 degrees TDC and then install the distributor until the rotor is lined up with the little mark that is on the edge. It will be at about the 11 O clock position then looking down at the distributor. The cap must be removed to do this.
