The goal is to have the rotor/cap interface, the rotor at the trailing (CW) edge of the cap terminal as the RP change from the can will swing it back CCW on a SB. I cant say for sure on the 15 deg, just visual and measure & it may take several holes to get it dead on. Keep in mind the rotor terminal is .244" wide & the cap terminal width is .214" so you have some leeway. the goal is to get that distance as close as possible including axial rotor tip to cap clearance (lengthening the rotor blade might be needed also) in addition to the around the circumference distance we are working with right now. EDIT the holes at 6 & 12 o'clock are the OE holes & the top one looks like a square but that is camera distorsion & it is round like the 6 o'clock one. MORE EDIT I would take the reluctor with you to the hardware store & get a drill bit to match the current holes as that is the roll pin size you will be (re)using.


Based off the measurements of the roll pin that holds the reluctor to the shaft I got a 3/32 drill bit, I will need to get a rat tail file in the morning.
So I am still confused as to wether or not I need to go clockwise to the original hole or counter clockwise to the original hole?
I'm going to get it started on it all first thing in the morning.
I already have a rotor that has a longer tip on it, the firecore distributors come with a rotor that has a longer blade then stock on it.
So I have the drill bit I need and the drill and a vice I will get a rat tail file in the morning, I just need to know if I'm drilling a hole cw to the original hole or ccw.
