Really, what happened before you flipped the switch is irrelevant to the light. The mechanical advance happens before the pick up.
The pick up coil IS the switch. It will "turn on the light" at the same position every time.
Do we all agree that the rotor is locked to the reluctor? YES
Is the pick up "fixed" in place with no vacuum advance? YES
Then what you really need to accept(like me) that it will always trigger in the same position.


Sure... IF you dont use a reference mark on
the cap and you are using a timing light...
the light will fire at the same time as the
rotor all the time.. but then look at the reference
mark on the cap... whats the use of having the slots
and springs with a movable timing plate.. I guess
they could have made it solid
