Should be good to go for timing adjustment.
One final issue: I moved the rotor one tooth counter clockwise, as pictured yesterday. Took the vacuum line off the vacuum advance pod, plunged it and then set the timing. Everything is good and the timing is right on, using the timing button and the pointer.

The issue is that in order to get the timing correct, the vacuum pod is literally pushed into the thermostat housing, and will not allow any further rotation/ advance adjustment. Have you seen this previously?
