Replacing my distributor first time

I realize, but this might confuse the guy. All I'm sayin is you can move the wire, if you don't want to move the rotor/ gear. Maybe you are not stating that as clearly. I agree..........different ways.........

My first car was a 57 Chev 265. Hell I didn't KNOW there was a 'right' way to do the distributor wires. I was in a gas station (summer of 66) and the gas jock says, "how does it run, it's out of time?"
