Timing Issue

[fixkick]

just made this off cardone photo, as you can see  there is short flat and long flat, the long flat is important.
I may have this backwards below.  ?  id have to see the STAR CMP. to know.  But the photos below shows how to  learn where the tip goes, and in relationship to the STAR is what matters, most.



Real photos with the dust cap off , make doing this 10 x more easy, time it with dust cap off.  seeing the HALL CMP STAR makes this way more clear.
92-95 only 16v below.  CCW turns,  fires, 1,3,4,2.

I think the long flat is bottom of  photo.  my guess is the star leading edge triggers spark (and ECu does advance for sure)


a better photo direct on, and with rotor tip show , we do not have one photo like that  early 16V,just like above is all I have.

OK I found 1 more photo. (dark web)  find the long fat, and that is BINGO. fire.




let me know please how these help or how to make this accurate   a real rotor makes this easy, it shows what must align
SMP maker shows a diagram and shows tip fires off end of long flat. as to 3 other top makers of rotors.
I think the below is accurate.  SMP rules and by looking at rotors for sale bottom side, shows this to be true.
