The last mark the notch passes during normal rotation should equate to
TDC, confirm it on your engine by looking down the plug hole of No. 1.
The other marks usually indicate 5 degree intervals BTDC. A typical
dynamic timing is 10 degrees BTDC at 600rpm, but could be 15 degrees at
1000 rpm. All depends on engine and distributor spec.
