The Toyota 12R engine used in the 1979 Hilux has timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft gears that need to be aligned during timing chain replacement. Here are the general steps to locate the timing marks on a 12R engine in a 1979 Hilux:

1. Remove the timing chain cover to gain access to the timing chain and gears.
2. Locate the timing marks on the camshaft gear and the crankshaft gear. The camshaft gear has a small dot or notch on it, and the crankshaft gear has a timing mark on its outer edge.
3. Rotate the engine in the direction of normal rotation until the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft gears align with the marks on the engine block. These marks are used to set the engine to TDC (Top Dead Center) on the compression stroke.
4. If the timing marks do not align, rotate the engine one full revolution in the direction of normal rotation and check again.
5. Once the timing marks are aligned, remove the old timing chain and inspect the camshaft and crankshaft gears for wear or damage. Replace any worn or damaged components as necessary.
6. Install the new timing chain, making sure that it has the correct number of links between the camshaft and crankshaft gears.
7. Tension the timing chain according to the manufacturer's specifications, and recheck the alignment of the timing marks.
8. Reinstall the timing chain cover and any other components that were removed.
9. Start the engine and check the timing with a timing light to ensure that it is correct.

It is important to consult a repair manual specific to your vehicle's make and model for detailed instructions and safety precautions before attempting any repairs on your own. Additionally, using high-quality replacement parts and following proper torque specifications and procedures is crucial for ensuring a successful repair.
