White is the one you should be aiming for.

There should be 3 marks together shouldn't there? Middle one for stock, one for 2 degrees advanced and one for 2 degrees retarded? Then there's the single white mark away from the rest that signifies TDC.

- = TDC

<FONT COLOR="red">-</FONT> = 14BTDC (Red, for the color blind)
<FONT COLOR="white">-</FONT> = 16BTDC (White, for the color blind)
<FONT COLOR="green">-</FONT> = 18BTDC (Green, for the color blind)

I think the last one is green give me a sec and ill get you guys the pics.

Edit: Never mind dont have the pic anymore.
