Yes but you might have a issue timing it since the points might have a advance added to it if the 2 plates are not locked in the 0 advance location.

Think about it, the vacuum canister moves the points to add advance. If it's not located correctly to the fixed plate you can have the advance off or have rotor phasing.


So if you compare a working distributer and mark the position on the plate with no vacuum on the advance unit then you should be at zero I assume?
Thanks for the info!
