yeah that is correct. the cam. intake cam is connected to the distributor. moving the cam sprockets on the exhaust side wont change ignition timing. adjusting the intake cam will effect ignition timing. mechanical timing is still lined up at the timing cover side so basically you are turning the distributor rotor as you adjust the inner section of the cam sprocket

yes anytime you adjust the cam timing on the intake side, you need to re set ignition timing
