Can anyone tell me how to use an old Craftsman Advance Timing Light? 200 1983

I am trying to check/set the timing on my 83 240 with a B23F engine. I have borrowed an old Craftsman Advance type timing light, without an instruction manual. The unit appears to fuction normally. I checked the timing and found that with the dial on the gun set to 12 degrees, the crank was showing 5 degrees. Apparently it should be 12, do I set the gun to 0 and adjust the distributor to 12 degrees, or set the gun to 0 and adjust to 12...? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time,
Seth Johnson
