the first marking is slightly wider, but otherwise they are all the same....and i cant find a marking on the top pulley

that will be it.

there is a mark on the cam pulley - is that what you mean?

Put pinto timing into you tube - I think there are some videos on how to do this

Top pulley has an arrow in the pulley backplate.Look through the hole in the pulley and line the arrow up with a dot on the head casting.
