the orange mark is zero. unfortunately the orange mark looks just like the white marks after time. it should be the second mark as you have it written above. if you set it to the wrong mark your car will either feel sluggish or spark knock like all heck so keep your ears open.

The last mark on the right is 20deg. FSM says 20 +/- 2deg I just set mine last night.
