One of them is 0°, I think it's the 2nd one up from the bottom... look at the tab closely, it's on there... they are 4° each notch, so from bottom to top they're 4° retarded, then 0, then 4 adv, then 8 adv, etc.

You might have to wipe off some grime to see the numbers. I don't remember exactly where the numbers are, but they are near the spikes, of course. I could only see a couple of them and had to figure out what the other notches represented.
