If shooting off the shelf, a neutral tiller can be used for either split or 3 under, while a negative tiller is advisable only for 3 under.

If shooting with an elevated rest, a neutral tiller is for 3 under, while a positive tiller is good for either style.

So the distance from string to where limb and riser meet at the top is larger than the distance at the bottom, so that’s a Positive Tiller right?

Yes, that's a positive tiller.

Does shooting 3 under have any positive or negative effect with a positive tiller? I tried split finger as well as 3 under and I shot better with 3 under, but the bow was louder. Is this bow designed for split? And if it is will I damage it shooting 3 under?

I've shot plenty of bow from the 60's 3 Under. Never had a problem getting them to tune and shoot well. I think it has to do with using a higher nock point for 3 under than split.

That's pretty much normal. Every bow I've ever had was noisier shooting three under than split. They work just fine, just need a bit higher nocking point when shooting three under vs split.

You set the nocking point to your needs, we can't tell you where it goes. Many times it will be just another 8th of an inch higher, sometimes it will be the same as split. It's not a constant and it's not one size fits all. I can shoot my bows either way with the same nocking point spot. That said, I shoot split finger 99.9% of the time.
