Default Timing a 91 5.2

I installed a new distributor in my 91 5.2..I put it on number 1 marked it all..Cranked right up.. But I want to set the base timing @ 10 .. So someone before me marked the timing tab on the cover at 0 And marked the balancer at 26 degrees ? Anyway do I mark the balancer at 10 btd and the timing cover tab at 0..I'm at a lost here my manual doesn't help

I found this https://www.justanswer.com/dodge/3h4...0-van-5-2.html
I suggest you get a silver sharpie and mark the timing marks on the balancer to make things easier to see from top or bottom.

Edit- Just found this with pics! https://www.allpar.com/threads/1991-...stment.241934/
