" However, is there a way to see if the timing is correct with a timing light as you can do with cars so that you can see you have it correct? "
Practically, with a front distributor, no.
But......
You can scribe marks on the front pulley & timing gear cover w/ #1 at TDC. I did that w/ my last engine rebuild.
Don't have a picture handy, but the concept is the same on my A Model Ford. Find TDC, mark the pulley & have a reference point.
BTW, this is the stuff retired guys do who have nothing to do & all day to do it. It's easier to just pull the distributor & set the timing; once it's set, you don't really need to worry about it until you change the points.
