Phasing with regard to the MSD box and distributor has to do with the correct alignment of the reluctor to the field coil, and the rotor tip to the terminals inside the distributor cap, at the moment the spark is created. The 2 primary wires that go between the MSD box and the distributor (electronic type) when connected correctly will show the timing retarded, compared to when the wires are incorrectly connected.
