Thumbs up Flywheel markings

Hello to all. I wanted to know if you can set the timming on a 1990 evo at the Tdc mark using a duel fire electronic ignition. By putting the tdc mark to the right of the timming hole and adjusting the module in the nose cone.

If it a crane, DTT, Dynatech with LEDs, you can time it that way.. I usually check by rotating the crank with the bike in gear to make sure of the position where the LED goes out..
