Fitech Rotor Phasing

I have my motor set at 14 initial. I Confirmed with the Fitech handheld that the displayed handheld timing matches the timing I get off of my Timing light. Timing synchronization is confirmed at 2000 and at 4000 as well.

My distributor has the Mallory guts, so it was easy to lock the mechanical advance down. To confirm the phasing was reasonable, i did the hole the the cap, and with the timing light, verified that from initial 14 degrees to about 40, the swing of the rotor position was centered around the spark plug tower. So, at about 25 degrees advanced, the rotor is right in line with the spark plug tower.
I had purchased the modified reluctor that Rick ehrenberg sells, but my phasing range was centered so I left it alone.
I use an MSD 6al as well.

I could not understand the Fitech instructions about moving the rotor 10 degrees.. I think ( and I am not a mechanic by trade), the idea is to get the distributor firing as close to the spark tower as possible, throughout the range of the timing. and that's what mine does. Instead of guessing that 10 degrees is right, I just made sure it was centered while the motor is running.


Hope this helps??
