Having just set LadyBug's timing ...

I think you've got it right...



Before I touched anything, the white mark was at

T and the yellow was at 10.  I turned the cam

sensor clockwise (as viewed from the driver's

position) and the yellow went to 14 and the white

went to 4.  A very noticeable performance increase

- no pinging - cool weather - 87 octane.
