Default quick question please!
Okay right now Im verifying my timing by getting the #1 cylinder to TDC. Heres my question. Should the rotor on the dizzy be pointing towards the #1 plug no matter what my timing is advanced to?

No the rotor should be pointing to #1 on the cap.

Why, how would it be a tooth off if it hasn't been out?

yes Ive taken it out before. I thought you were asking if I had it out now.

and upon playing with it advancing the timing does affect where the rotor points.

Of course it does. You have to move it in order to advance it. But what makes you think it's a tooth off?

If it is running ok I doubt it's a timing problem.
