Ok school time... Please help
Ok I thought when the the rotor moves (not the motion driven by the camshaft) advances, this is what causes the distributor cap to receive voltage before it is aligned on the terminal.
I am I wrong here.

The misalignment that necessitates the adjustment is between the rotor mounting and the reluctor and has nothing to do with the cap mounting. Therefore, once the phasing is set, you should be able to swap caps at your leisure without need for further adjustment.

Then why are we referencing the to the terminal on the cap.
I'm confused?
