Every time I install an ignition system, I ask but what if I was off 1mm?   Visually what would that look like on the flywheel?
Well, most of you probably already know and I'm probably late to the party, but here ya go if you don't already: 


The line on the right is 6mm BTDC.  The one on the left is 2.9 mm BTDC.  Used VAPE DT360A system as an example. 
Edit: Oops that is misleading.  If the line to the left was rotated to where the one on the right  is, then its 6mm BTDC.
