[quote=TRENDZ]Alright The pick up coil IS the switch. It will "turn on the light" at the same distributor position every time.
This is the key right here. Got to think about this some more.
Can see where when the Two meet up reluctor/pickup that they will energize at the same spot in relationship to one another, everytime, Like Dead inline.
I can agree with that. Dead inline, bang we have fire at the Same spot. Say at 0 degrees on a 360 degree circle of the cap.
Now lets put the distributer at 350 degrees, or 10 degrees before the next alignment. Add 10 degrees for the mechanical advance rotation of the rotor and reluctor and we have another perfect alignment for a energize. Sure the reluctor and pickup are now energizing at the same exact alignment , but guess what. The rotor is now 10 degrees rotational different from the cap.
The rotor is indeed 10 degrees advanced from where it was before compared to the cap , but yet the relctor/pickup alignment is the same.
I can see why this is hard to get the head around.
