This one should be obvious, but I don't want to get it wrong. I'm getting close to having everything back together and turn the key on the rebuilt engine in my TR-6. With TBI I need to set the static timing at 14 degrees BTDC. Here's a picture with 14 degrees marked. Please confirm that I'm on the correct side of TDC. Thanks for your help!

The other side (Dark Side) is ATDC or Above Top Dead Center. Just make sure that the vacuum advance and or retard unit is disconnected when you set the timing and the line(s) to them is plugged so you are not running lean and faster then normal.
