Each line represents 2º. 10º BTDC would be your timming setting. Thats what my 1982 4.9 is. If your looking to figure out were they start. its shown on this page

The six cylinders have the scale fixed and is referenced against a notch on the crankshaft pulley rather than the scale moving on the pulley referenced against a fixed pointer.I guess I can assume it's still 2 degree increments?
