Timing Issue

[fixkick]

Tomorrow, I will put everything back together, again, and get the engine running. 
I will place the rotor so the tip is opposite the longest side of the distributor shaft. (what were they thinking?)

I'll test the TPS, bring the engine to temp, and check timing.

I am not opposed to resetting the distributor, 3 times if need be, to get the rotor alignment correct as required.

This whole nut-roll is way more involved than it needs to be. 

I'll even make a video of the timing mark.

with a real rotor that fits on this 1 way, the steps are rote.
I have no real good photo of the top of distributor,  with dust cap off,  camera pointed correctly at the rotor mount   , rotor off. all mine are not camera pointed perfectly to see CMP STAR
correctly/. this photo is good but not perfect, camera shot.
the rotor must be correct first, then drop the distributor so the gear is correct (13 teeth) and rotor is pointing to #1 wire  on cap.
this photo is bad 2 ways, camera not aim right, and not #1 firing. on crank pulley 0. I am no fully certain that the long side is not at bottom below.?
the key (no pun) way to get this right is DUST CAP off and make sure the CMP STAR is now worn, (one way wrong never start, other is off 30degrees misfires and way 3 works perfect)



the other horror is below:  


















 
let me do one more, photo , to show how CMP will fail.




check this new photo I made, to see the 3 HORROR ROTORS.  ( the below set wrong is all pure horror, that nobody needs ever)
