Yes it will, as you're re-indexing the wires to the rotor position, which is the opposite or moving the rotor to match the wires. Correct per the manuals no, Does it matter? only when your ability to achieve the desired timing is limited as it is in this case.
There are a few vehicle's in which the '"adjustment swing" is limited and those have to be wired with the rotor "clocked" and "wired"per the book.
This one hasn't been or the V/A wouldn't be hitting the manifold wink Not trying to be a S/A just clarify for the OP and others wink beer


Ok so you are saying move them all 1 spot counter clock wise and re-time it, which will move the housing clockwise 1 full spark plug post hole. I understand up But I was thinking that would be too much further forward. the tooth would be less. beer 1 spark plug tower would move the housing 45*


Correct, 45 degrees is a lot but should allow him to get well away from the intake. He did not mention where the timing was with it pegged against the manifold, that would be helpful to have known wink. And yes 1 tooth would be less, probably even two teeth wink
I suspect the OP is a bit concerned on his ability to move the drive gear. No offense meant to him as it can be intimdating to one who has not done it . beer
