[Mgs] 1972 MGB Timing

[Daybell7 at aol.com]

MG'ers,
 
I don't understand where or how my timing should read for peak  performance.  
 
While standing on the right side of the car with a timing light, should the  
notch on the crankshaft pulley read lower (closer to me) than the timing marks 
 at 14 degrees BTDC?
 
How can I maximize performance by adjusting the timing?   I have  an 
electronic ignition.  The car doesn't run bad, but won't achieve high  rpm (say 
>3000).  Is this normal?
 
Thanks in advance.
