Robert, not sure if that is easier than drilling another hole. but it is a thought.

it is a roll pin holding it in place.

so I am not sure why move the oil pump shaft won't help.

if I understand the issue, and maybe I don't.

The sensor that picks up the shutter wheel must be 50 to 90 degrees away from the rotor pointing or it doesn't work very well.

Since I can rotate the distributor at will and repoint number 1, getting some degrees distance isn't an issue.

Since this is measured at the crank and not the distributor, my issue now is moving it over 1 tower is equal to 90 degrees on the crank.

If I can move the oil pump shaft to split the distance between 2 towers, I get 45 degrees movment which puts me at around 65 ish to 70ish distance and makes it good.

Unless the gears mesh out farther than a tower on the cap that is.

what am I missing?
