I checked the phasing in my MP electronic ignition conversion distributor this evening by putting the motor on TDC and adjusting the reluctor wheel dead on the reluctor pick-up.

When I put my cap back on, the rotor appears to be half passed the #1 tower conductor (the rotor tip is half on and half off the brass tower conductor).

Also, I noticed that there is a lot of tolerance stack in the distributor. You can feel the distributor wiggle in the intermediate shaft slot and the rotor moves slightly on the shaft. Are there any mods I can do to fix this?

OOOORRR... Is there a better quality distributor that works with the Mopar ignition system?

Could this be the cause of my timing flickering ~1-2 degrees at idle? It cleans right up off idle and holds rock steady.

The vacuum advance is plugged off.

This thing is sloppy. I am not a fan of a sloppy distributor!
