NEVER seen a front vibration damper on one of those vehicles with just a 0 mark; they typically have a range from about 15 degrees BTDC to a couple of degrees after. I suggest you try cleaning off the old paint which should reveal the individual degree marks.

That failing, you can quite easily establish a 6 degree BTDC mark yourself using the 0 as a reference, assuming the 0 mark is truly TDC. Measure the OD of the damper, multiply by 3.1416 to get the circumference, and divide that by 360. That will give the decimal parts of an inch which represents each degree of rotation. Multiply that by 6, and mark off the distance from the 0 and you have a point for 6 degrees BTDC.
