Swapping distributor's
Many people on this forum suggested swapping dizzy's with a friend to see if it was the cause of a particular problem.....
My question is about the timing of the car putting the dizzy on. If I take a dizzy off a friends car after marking it (to put back in correct place) and I put it on the car being tested, will that mess up the timing of the car or is having the timing close enough okay.

Having the timing close enough for a short amount of time is perfectly fine.

Re: (Dave_B)

im an idiot, when I took my dizzy off after marking it, i decided to clean off the oil and accidently erased the marking on the dizzy. time to bring out the timing gun?
