for what it's worth, i'm with Mr P on this one. i saw this just when playing with the distributor by hand. as the mechanical advance comes into play, that changes the position of the reluctor, which moves the position of the rotor, which changes the position of the rotor to the terminal in the cap.

why then is the tip of the rotor so wide? if it didn't change in relation to the cap, it wouldn't need to be anywhere near that wide.

anyway, i'm going to drill a hole in my cap to make sure i got the new reluctor in the right position, so i'll made a video of that, if there isn't one posted here already. i won't get to it until late next week, so we'll see.
