Aligning the LH 2,4 flywheel

With the engine set in the zero position with all timing marks aligned, how do I set up the LH 2,4 flywheel correctly? There are six possible positions, five of which are wrong. :lol:

My B21A (single carb) 245 with a four-speed got like 15-20 MPG. They're just not very efficient.
