Fitech- New install, no start.

When you setup timing control, how did you set up your rotor?

Here is how I did mine, but I am getting conflicting info.

1. Locked MSD dist
2. Set initial timing @18* BTDC on balancer
3. Aligned reluctor wheel in the middle of the magnet
4. I am stuck on the adjustable rotor step. The info I read said to rotate it to 18* (to match timing) but if I do that, the rotor tip isn't near #1 post.

I have a second cap and I drilled a hole in it and I just rotated the rotor till it lined up with #1. I am not sure this is correct.

It finally fired, but it was a hard start. It idled good and was responsive when revved. I don't have the car complete, yet so I can't drive it.

Any help would be appreciated.
