I found the access hole.  Just didn't notice it before.  Not sure why.
However, I can't find ANY timing marks on the flywheel.  I am tempted at
this point to bolt on a spare rabbit tranny & flywheel just to time it
before I put it in.  Didn't get it in today anyways.  I somehow managed
to loose the pressure plate bolts....I'll have to get some new ones on
Monday.
