I hope the line above bolded like i want it to. If not, it is the one about the rotor not budging. I think that is the one that sent me off the rails. Reading it more i think you were including the comment about using the timing light, while i took it you were saying it didnt move. The shaft didnt move forward that is, when the advance kicked in. Throw that in with the talk about magic and maybe you can see my confusion about what was being discussed.



I just went back and bolded what I was keying off of pertaining to the "bet." I realize we werent on the same page so it's fine to forget it. I posted the one sentence statement and the very next thing i saw was the word yes. Hence my thoughts were colored by that and the above about not seeing movement. That is why i kept saying things were frozen up, locked or whatever if the rotor isnt moving.

Add to that P body said things like the timing light would still fire at the time of the spark, mark the distributor and you'll see the movement, etc and when you kept saying it was magic and kept pushing bets, i thought you were talking about something else going on.
