Wait a minute. I never said you couldn't rotate your distributor. I said
you couldn't rotate it to change your ignition timing. You can rotate it
all you want (as long as you loosen it first). All it will do is change the
time when your injectors spit fuel out which could be detrimental to the
time your engine is expecting it. Please be careful of the words you put
in my mouth. ;-)

Thanks, I was told by Ronald Wong that the distributor could not be rotated.
