I phase the distributor rotor ,for zero of course, then set the magnet on mine around 36 to start.; Your distributor is locked, right Chris?





Yes, locked out..

And I still adjust timing through the distributor movement.??


Chris..





A lesson I learned last week.
Timing can only be changed by where the signal is picked up.....you have to move the magnetic pick up around the crank trigger wheel.
The distributor is only , no pun intended , distributing the spark.
But the signal , as far as when to fire , happens at the crank trigger.
If you kept the guts in the distributor as a back up , after you switched away from the crank trigger , then timing would be set in the " normal " way.
