the magic trick is that you can't "see" the rotor move with the timing light

since the mech adv can't possibly physically move the cap the rotor/reluctor have to move to change the timing...the msd link states it and shows it, the distributor machine will show it too. but the timing light probably doens't show it and that's gonna be the point RR sticks too...

" This was never about money, rather i have an active distaste for misinformation being spread."

This sentence will make the win all that much sweeter....

The new vid will show the rotor at the terminal as you state because it fires when its in sync, advanced or not. But the base of the distributer machine should show advance on its measured 360 timing display.

The Vid that shows All the movement was {intentionally manipulated} to Show phase movement. It wasn't moved by any mechanical advance. It was moved for intensive purposes of the vid. It wouldn't of moved otherwise.

In the new vid if the rotor doesn't move from the terminal, and it wont. Whats it going to take to prove it. Would the display advance on the 360 degree panel be enough. Or will we all be just fooled by some type of magical event.

Gambling over state lines? Well, technically it's not gambling if its a sure thing... more like paying your tuition.
Seriously though, put a little thought into it. You don't have to bet on a losing hand.
For those that can accept it, here is a neat video on the purposes of needing rotor phasing.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWMlNwGW0tM

Start watching at 2 minute mark. Shows the advance in action several times after rotor phase being set properly.

Think about this.... did it start moving.. period

Yes. I watched that vid. Almost made me jump back to your winning side as you put it. Don't jump to conclusions from that vid.

Watch it again yourself and consider this. Listen to the rev of the distributer machine.

At 2.00 the rotor starts out at the Left, as it revs, moves to the Right. Mechanical advance right. But wait, as it continues to rev, the rotor sweeps back to the Left and then again to the Right. Then back to the left as the RPM slows again. Done by 2;14

Someone is Clearly just manipulating it and Showing a ideal rotor phase perimeter, As they were doing in that vid.

If it were just a mechanical advance it would of Stayed in its proper direction of sweep in its correct rpm range. Its not going to Sweep back and forth above the RPM the advance is already enacted.

Think about that and comment please

OK I'll chime in....the timing advance is created when the RELUCTOR is made to rotate away from it's original relationship to the pickup. THAT is what initiates timing advance because now the trigger relationship has changed!

All the rotor does is transfer that change to the cap. The rotor moves but that is why you have a broad tip on the rotor, to transfer that advance from the reluctor/pickup without deteriorating the cap and rotor
due to excessive gap.

Are we done now????
