Ignition timing, OK. Do you have a strobe light?

I do have a strobe light and I know where to find it, but the tag is so rusted I cannot read it. I need to know if you cannot read it what it should be?

No, the metal tag above the harmonic balancer is rusted so badly, it cannot be read. I just need to know is it 1 or 2 increments.
