Stupid Distributor Questions

C130, issues with phasing are fairly common. I believe it was David Freighburger that marketed/markets a reluctor with 6 or 8 slots for the alignment pin. I've also had one MSD pro billet that had phasing issues and the car wouldnt idle well. I had to modify the cap to center it on the post. The best wayt to check pahsing is to drill the cap so you can illuminate the rotor as it hits the #1 terminal. Check it with a timing light. It's also common for the oil pump drive to be re-used, and the worn drive eats the new bushing pretty quickly, creating slop and erratic timing. Those bushing can be changed in the car with the right tool, or the one I made...lol.
