No, only vac adv moves the magnet (pickup). We are speaking only of mech adv so the magnet for our purposes is fixed (we are capping the can). mech adv twists the reluctor/rotor CW so that the tooth will reach the magnet sooner (mech advance) and when it does the rotor will be at the same clocking (RP) on the cap which does not make sense. I'd wait for someone to post a video. I knew from my work that mech adv did not change RP but I did not know why/how until I put a dist in my hands. its like a magic trick, you'll see when you get there & I would not have been able to grasp it mentally/figure it out WO having the dist in front of me to work with to defend my statement/position.
