Small Cap Conversion Question
Hey all,
In midst of doing a small cap conversion and I have a question about the dizzy.
Can one mark the rotor location of the large cap and install the small cap with rotor in same location and expect to at least be on the right cylinder and move forward with setting timing?

Thanks,
Didn't really have anything else in mind except was thinking with the smaller diameter; could that throw everything out of whack?
Sometimes when we work on these cars we over think it, I guess....LOL,
Thanks again for the sanity check.......

The engine doesn't care how the rotor is oriented. The only important thing is that the wires are in the correct order and that the rotor is pointed at #1 wire when that cylinder is at TDC.
