Timing procedure question

When I set the timing I used a nonadjustable light without advance adjustment and the marks were lined up for L and T. So marks were dead on. Now I got a new timing light that has adjustment **** but when I'm at '0' the marks are on, but when I move the **** to '5 degrees' the mark is off for L to the right, and for T at 20degrees waaay off to right. Do I adjust the Crank Angle Sensor so the L is lined up at 0 or 5 degrees, T at 0 or 20 degrees??

HAILERS, when you say 'no' I assume you mean set timing at the '0' mark, i.e., don't use the advance type timing light.

I'v got mine set at 30 degrees advance. Don't try that if you're turbo or don't really know what you're doing. It does add some torque, though.
