Re: Could me engine timing be inaccurate

As you lowered the distributor into position, the rotor rotated a bit because the gears on the shaft are spiral cut.. This rotation is normal.. If the vacuum canister on the distributor is in a "comfortable" position after the timing is set, you're good to go.. Wanna see something that will fascinate and puzzle you a little more?? Put the timing light pickup on the #6 plug wire. Start the engine and check the timing as before...
