Well I found something Odd on my 95 motor. Contrary to what =
Miata.net says about 95's I have 2 marks on my crank pulley. I assumed =
that TDC was the one on the left. That is the one I set to 10 (mark on =
timing belt cover) with the Link set in the ignition set mode. Am I =
correct on this.

BTW who at Miata.net should I let know about my 95 having 2 marks.

Just to further clarify, It's a no brainer if you remember that one mark
will be at TDC and the other will be at 10* BTDC. That's 10 degrees CCW
from the TDC mark on the plastic timing belt cover, while facing the
engine from the front of the car for you engineers out there. :) Since
10* BTDC is the stock position, that's the mark that you pay attention
to while adjusting the timing. The TDC is for reference.

Set it so that one mark is on zero and the other is on 10degBTDC (for
both OEM and FM ECU in setup mode).
