<VV> Distributor....4 Degrees off

[Padgett]

Meanwhile back at the Pet. - Marked the reluctor (thingie that goes on the 
distributor shaft under the rotor and moved 60 distributor degrees - the 4 
degree split followed the reluctor so it seems that it is off - just seems 
to be one cylinder though and was only happenstance that it turned out to 
be 1-2 when I put the timing light on the coil wire. Chances are that few 
would ever notice. I may have to dig out the Sun DT 680 that is buried in 
400 blocks and do some serious testing. Figure I can do the same by drawing 
a white line on the backside of the balancer so can see all three firing 
marks (can see two now but third is under engine & "advance" timing light 
only has 1/6th the range when on coil wire) at once. Only need one to set 
time but others just need to match.

Just a good thing it wasn't the other way around and what I thought was 14 
degrees advance would have been 18.
