First PIC is the pulley on the engine - notch to LEFT of the U on the front rim.

I suggest the second one is correct - as pulley rotates - the notch (5 deg BTDC) should be approx 7.4 mm before the TDC shallow U.
The pulley on my engine has these marks the other way round......
Still interested to understand why the pulley wheel can be so wrong - as it must have a key notch like the one I have in the garage....?
Did you ever get to the bottom of this ?
iirc there is a dizzy fitted to some engines that has no vac advance (I forget the code right now) I wonder if the wheel with the timing mark before TDC came off one of those engines ?
