A slightly related question I have been thinking about. So, we have four stroke engines, so the engine fires every other stroke? But the distributor, it doesn't skip a fire when it comes around does it? It fires every time the rotor is underneath a wire right? So, does the distributor make one revolution for the engine making two?

The reason I ask is because when doing some ignition or valve work you need to put the engine on TDC, but wouldn't putting the rotor on wire #1 be sufficient? That is when the cylinder fires right?

That might do it. Been laying awake at night thinking about this...
