I am going to just break down and buy a good distributor.

the next one you get hold it in your hand & put the cap on & make a magic marker mark at the cap bulge centerline (any of em) as described then take off the cap/add the rotor/line up the particular tooth just counterclockwise past the magnet that places the rotor tip near your mark & see far dead on/or off the rotor tip is from your mark. If way off clean off your mark & send it back. EDIT I'm assuming you are not going with vacuum advance but if you are a can stamped 8 on the arm shifts the phasing of the rotor tip 8 degrees clockwise (BB) around the circumference at max vacuum from the at rest (no vacuum) position & changes pickup gap
