Question Timing Quiz!!! Who has the answer?

Ok guys, I just built a type IV engine for my 914. I used a 1.7L block, 2.0L crank & pistons, 1.8L Heads and god only knows where the front fan came from.
The problem is that the fan only has one timing mark. I have set the timing by trial and error for now, but I need to know if the mark is TDC or 5 deg. BTDC or 7.5 deg. BTDC to mark my fan for 32 deg. BTDC. I have three books and each one tells a diffrent story.
Hayes says that 1.7L carb. engines and 1.8L L-jetronic only had one mark at 7.5 deg. BTDC. The mark on mine seems to be closer to TDC.

Does anybody know?
