My 617 days are long ago but IIRC the crank pulley doesn't indicate TDC/0|T when the trigger tooth is centered in the sensor holder. In any case, the 0|T mark indicates TDC and the trigger tooth isn't close to the sensor holder. The blue line is at 10*ATDC, the green line looks like it's at 25* ATDC. If the green circle is centered on the yellow line, that would be 5* BTDC. I can't tell from this angle but I'm guessing there's more than 5* separation between the visual indicator and sensor holder.

Your are right about spelling of Xenon. I agree with you that the tooth and sensor has no relationship to IP timing. I am using it as proof of concept. If there is no propagation delay, the tooth should be directly under the magnetic sensor while the Zenon light is strobbing.

Below is a video of the timing light . The tooth is not visible so it somewhere under the magnetic sensor.

The green paint mark to the left of the pointer is at 25 degrees, which you can see in this pic (pointed to by green line)
