Setting ignition and distributor timing

Hey guys, I have a 1989 Mazda B2200 with a ‘83 13B Bridgeport engine on in it. I’m trying to figure out if my timing on the distributor it’s correct or do I need to fix it? Any help will be appreciated.

looks like the pointer on the front cover is missing. the alignment of divot and pointer on distributor is correct. foxed.ca site has manuals that will help with which timing mark on the main pulley is leading. use the ones for the 2nd gen 13b.

Thanks. My bad, I don’t explain myself clearly. The engine is a ‘83 13B bridgeport so I think it’s a 1st gen, right? And my question is if inside the distributor (were I marked in blue in the 3rd pic and yellow in the 4th pic) it’s set right or wrong?

the 13b for the 1st gen was in the 84-85 gsl-se. if the engine is an 83, it's a 12a. those settings/markings inside the distributor shouldn't have been messed with and still set from the factory. again, all this will be in the fsm.
