Use the mark on the flywheel to determine TDC.

ok. i lined up the white line on the mark with the vaccum advance lines plugged. I put them back on and checked the timing and the red line was like 4-5 degrees under the mark? I know its suppose to be right on the red line but since its wasnt whats that mean?
