Randall,
Thanks, there is a clamp which will allow me to fine tune. Is there
a general rule of where (which cylinder) and when (what exact part of the
combustion cycle) I should align the rotor to fire? I think my engine's
firing order is 1,3,4,2 does that mean that the no. 1 cylinder is the first
to be ignited after the engine leaves TDC? Thanks again.
