Nope, should be the far right one. The far left one is for TDC. When
looking from the mechanics view at the timing pulley (front toward rear) the
pulley is spinning clockwise. So, as the quadrant of marks comes around on
the pulley, the first marks to arrive would be the full advance marks (hence
the expression BEFORE TDC) and the last mark to arrive would be the TDC mark.
