Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

If you search, you should find a picture of it.

The "zero" is the large tooth/valley. The first peak to the left (looking at the engine from the front) is 4 degrees. The first valley to the left of that first peak is 6 degrees.

From the upper menu bar (red in my browser), I clicked on "Search", and entered "timing tab".

I looked for threads with an attachment symbol. Found this: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/atta...-timingtab.jpg
