how to do timing

I have searched around and nothing. I need to know when you time your car do you set the crank pully to the red mark or the white one? I know how to set the cam gear just not sure about the crank pully. which mark is top dead center red or white?

Set the ignition timing to the red mark.

ignition timing would be the red mark the White mark is for TDC This is the one you should line up with for cam timing....make sure it is exact. look at it from a couple of different angles.

when you line it up with the white mark and then rotate the engine and then check again its off. but if you line it up on the red mark rotate the engine and check it is lined up on the white. I don't get it.
