Basic Timing Light Question

85 Ranger 2.8

Using my Sears Digital Timing Light, for example when I set the light to 12 DBTDC, and aim the light at the damper, what mark on the damper am I lining the pointer up to?

1) The zero '0' degree mark on the damper?

or

2) The large mark just below the zero '0' degree mark?

Also, do the large marks on the damper before and after the number marks represent anything?

Is the zero '0' mark also TDC?
