Timing marks can someone photoshop the numbers in?
I can take a guess and say the deep mark is the 0 degree mark and to the left is BTDC and to the right is ATDC. And most likely inc. of 2 degrees but I want to verify. This is off a 1985 Corvette.

For future reference. Use a timing light with an advance **** on the back of it. If you want to be at 6 degrees you set the timing gun **** to 6 degrees. Then you just align the balancer mark to the deep notch on the timing tab with is zero and you're set exactly. With this method you don't need to be able to read the marks.
This is what I do since most of the time these damn things are rusted and unreadable anyway.

I remember when they used to put a picture of the timing tab on the emissions sticker. That was a good idea. Those were old gm cars, I wonder if those stickers were emission stickers? All I cared about to read on them was gap, dwell, & timing.....
