Timing pointer location for 87-up L98?

what location is the timing pointer location on the 87-up L98 TPIs? Is it the 12:00 position or the 2:00 position?

2:00 position. If it was in the 12:00 position like TBI's and carbs, the TPI intake would prevent you from seeing it.

No its a new caprice replacement motor, I currently have a 305 so I guess I have to get a correct dampner.
