I was at my local book store and somehow came across this "rotor alignment" article.
When I install a distributor, I bring the piston up to TDC, drop the distributor in with the rotor pointing to #1 and rotate the cap to #1 wire. (post) Start it up and set the timing!
Now, saying that... I never even thought of the rotor be off, (in between TWO terminals) just as long as I could time it, I assumed everythings OK! And, has been as long as I can remember.
Is this rotor alignement valid??
In this article the guy has holes cut in a old cap to make sure that the rotor is dead on at TDC!
Please comment!
