I think I understand what is said below is in cases where there may have been an assembly error and the dimple no longer indicates TDC #1, or a new gear timing mark is incorrectly stamped, an alternate method may have to be used. If all is assembled correctly and parts are correct then no problem. Ideally all you should really have to check is points gap and points timing (at full retard) with the dimple indicating TDC #1.
From what I think I understand, since the distributor is fixed, and only the points plates move, rotor position should be a close indicator for #1 TDC if it is lined up with the #1 position on the dist. body.
So changing the points timing does not affect rotor position, bur rotor position affects points timing. So I do not understand below about points timing affecting rotor position.
Would appreciate comments if my understanding is incorrect.
