Got caught out thinking the same thing once , it was British , I think a Jag and heck if the front cylinder was not #1 but #6 . GMC pulled the same stunt with some odd year of Buick in the 70s . Instead of having the timing marks line up they were both at 12 o'clock . Not sure what year and it drove me nuts trying to set the timing - until I checked the book .
Yes i caught it before buttoning everything in place and it sure hammered home that it is a good idea to pull up the specs ...
