At the top of the transmission, right where the tranny housing meets the engine, is a rectangular window in the tranny - maybe 1/2 inch by about 2 inches. It is NOT the squarish hole with the metal grid. You will probably have to move some hoses aside and peer in with a flashlight. The long dimension of the window is front to back of the car. I usually find getting a timing light in there is tough, but if you use a piece of rope or strap to hold some of the hoses aside and inch or two, it works.
The timing marks are on the flywheel, and all that's on the tranny housing is a small raised mark. If the flywheel isn't in exactly the right position, you won't see the marks. Try turning the engine over without starting, and look in. After a few tries you should be lucky enough to see the section of the flywheel with the timing marks.
Good luck!
