Reluctor Phasing

This is a mind-bender, but the rotor tip to reluctor lobe relative positions are fairly fixed (assuming no extra-ordinary means), but the pick-up core to cap terminal relationship is variable. Changing this can help with rotor phasing IF there is enough vacuum advance travel left to not limit that. Where the pick-up plate stops at rest (no vacuum advance condition) can be changed to better align the cap's terminal with the rotor tip. Recognize that the vacuum advance can messes with this, so given the choice set the stop such that vacuum advance initially moves the rotor tip towards the cap terminal rather than further away from it.

There are other considerations, so this isn't going to offer a large range of change, unlike the Ford D-S II's pick-up plate's pivot design, but is another tool in your pocket.

I've been using the "1/2 past the pick-up's core with the reluctor lobe's trailing edge" to static time Fords and Toyota's (actually Toyota converted ACVW dizzy's) for years. Not sure where or how I came to find it to work so well, but with those systems the width of the relative parts makes this easy to do.
