[Spridgets] Progress on getting the Midget on the road...

[Glen Byrns]

Even if the dizzy drive gear is dead on, if the trigger point of the
petronix sensor isn't exactly where the original points trigger position
was, the difference shows up with a timing light.  Considering the desired
relationship of the rotor and the plugwire post across the range of desred
timing, you might want to shift the plate mounted sensor for the petronix
to ensure triggering at the correct point in the rotor/post relationship.
