Re: Timing Vortec

Yes, it's possible to have the distributor off a tooth and still run, but it wouldn't really matter if you're using a light to time it and you're on #1 plug wire. What matters is the cap's position relative to the rotor position.

The total timing is the initial plus mechanical advance.

Are you sure about your timing marks? Did you re-use the plastic cover and the Vortec balancer?
