Default Physical timing (on can)?

I have a Tekin 10.5 Redline motor (used) and it's got hash marks for timing on the can. What I can't figure out is what to align the hashes with to know what the timing is set to. Is it fixed? It's a known well performing unit and it's likely I'll leave it alone, it's just that I'd like to KNOW what's going on.

Awww man, I can't post the pic because of my newb status. I broke out the digi for no reason. It's a good shot too.

h t t p ://webpages.charter.net/brembo/tekin10.jpg <-----remove the spaces and it'll work. Sorry for the hack job.

You are currently set at 16*. The black indentation on the end cap is the marker. Every tick mark is 4*.

Thank you, I figured that was the case. There are however 8 of those indentations on the end cap and that worried me. Again, thank you.

Yeah, just use the one closest to the tick marks. Don't go twisting it all around or you'll have it screwed up.
