In order to avoid this problem BigStuff3 recommends using a system that has four magnets (for a V8) embedded in the trigger wheel. As the magnets pa

Rotor Phasing Rotor phasing is important for regular OE ignition systems, but it is vital for high energy ignition systems where the spark has to jum

24For example, with the Crank Reference set to 50o BTDC, the rotor needs to be retarded by 30o (crankshaft degrees) to achieve good rotor phase

Start by removing the cam gear at the bottom of the distributor shaft by removing the roll pin with a 1/8” punch. Pull the distributor shaft out of
