On the distributor, I agree. Trick is we don't know, and unless Bill set everything up to #1 TDC when he disassembled it, he may not know where the distributor is set to fire next, and I figured it might save him a whole lot of headache to have the rotor pointed at #1 from the gitgo, rather than have to wind the distributor all the way in the event, for example, that it was left ready to fire on #4.
On the mag, I also agree that it trips with the lug just about level across. When I go to remount and time a mag, though, I set it up to hold just before it trips on #1. I might have been clearer on that point in my response to Bill. As a result, the slot on the drive is pointed about 10 o'clock and 4 when viewed from the rear, and the lug on the mag at about 8 o'clock and 2. That way when I roll the mag away to trip the impulse, I only have to bring her around once to #4 to check before tightening her down.
My only aim was to leave Bill set up so that he would be as close as one could expect to having the ignition timed. On the distributor especially, I didn't want to leave him 180 out and scratchin' his head.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
