Default Phasing

So I ordered an adjustable rotor and cut a hole in a spare cap next to #1 terminal in order to see the rotor once I get the new rotor.

So the plan is to shoot the rotor with the timing light and adjust it such that the the base and total timing positions are equidistant from centered on the plug post. I’m only running 14 crank degrees between base and total timing so the angle in the dizz should only be 7 degrees.

Guessing that the swept circumference of is on what a 4” circle, the circumference Is about 12.5” or .035”/degree...7 degrees is only .24”, less than the width of the rotor tip.

I’m thinking I should therefore be able to adjust the rotor so that all spark occurs with the rotor tip always next to the cap electrode.

Thanks
