Hi William -

Ignore Bentley - The picture is intended for Digifants which are timed at 5
degrees BEFORE TDC, the "v" to the right of the "u".

Your pulley is correct with the "v" to the left of the "u" indicating 5
degrees AFTER TDC.  Your 84 is normally timed to that mark (although mine
runs better at 0 degrees TDC because of wear and tear on the dizzy over the
years).
