"The Rotor advances, No argument about that. Everybody Get That out of the Way."
This depends on your point of view. I contend that from the pick up's point of view, it does not advance. From the pick up's point of view it stays exactly in the same place. The mechanical advance puts the engine in a retarded state when it comes in. The timing light will show the rotor staying in the same place, while the engine rolls away from tdc at the exact same time.
Depends on your point of view. Your right Glass half full or half empty.
Yep, the pickup sees it as the rotor has never moved. So it really doesn't see it{ Advanced Or Retarded} does it.
But I will argue the advance weights will throw the rotor forward compared to the engine rolling back under acceleration.
But, yeah, I don't think this thread needs any more Mud added in. Stop it Trendz.
And I do understand what your saying. Even though the weights are being thrown forward, the engine is firing from a retarded position from what is was before, with no advance. but the distributer is firing exactly as it was before.
