No start, fresh rebuild, help anyone?

Mopar small blocks have 18 teeth on the intermediate shaft.... thats an even number to start. You cant end up between terminals...let alone the reluctor and rotor can not clock any different from each other since they are fixed and non adjustable..just line up the no.1 terminal and fire it.

CHEVY has the odd number of teeth...which is where the "1 tooth off" comes from, the rotor ends up ahead or behind by the end of 1 revolution.

The only time you can end up between terminals and have spark scatter/misfire is if you were unlucky enough to have ended up with one of the early electronic distributors from the '99-2000's time frame, they were machined wrong so that no matter where you stabbed the distributor...the rotor was out of phase with the caps terminals.

So waggin is wrong
