Default Timing +- 25 degrees??

So I have to pull the distributor due to an oil leak there. I've always suspected base timing was changed when the prev owner had the turbo conversion done. So I checked the timing. Let the car head up, jumped t1 and e1, hooked up the light. The mark is way out at like 25 btdc. I moved the pick up to a few spots around the #1 wire and it was the same every time. Checked several times. I expected it would be different but not so much. Here's a pick of blown up fsm shot and actual garage shot. The mark is outside the number range. I take it the farthers counter clockwise the box is 20 and it's about 5 out from there. See for yourself, so I'm not crazy.

That's harder to see than I thought. The yellow is the edge of the box and the 10 (mid box). Purple is around the white timing mark. Guess you'll have to take my word for it. But that's where it is. Here's the full size.
