MSD has also suggested doing as Vector 1 suggested. View from above. Use a sacraficial cap or one that s being replaced. MSD markets a Rotor with an adjustable tip that fits several applications including the small diameter billet distributors that are popular with several of our engines. #84211. Originally designed to remidy issues associated with EFI, it can be used with carbureter application if needed.

For a carburated application, using a crank trigger, rotor phasing is adjusted by rotating the distributor and this would be the method to verify that adjustment. If you are using the magnetic pickup in the distributor then this method verifys that MSD built the distributor correctly.
