Pissed off with motor, want to change

Funny thing I forgot to mention earlier. I was rechecking voltage at the coil and checking resistance on the ballast resistor today. I was lightly leaning on the brake booster and thought I felt a tingle. Just out of curiosity I touched the positive tip of my voltmeter to the booster and got more than 10 volts. I couldn't find a chassis ground anywhere. I ran a makeshift ground and the voltage dropped to less than 7 volts. I need to run a few more grounds to clear out this voltage.

Okay, when I timed it to what I assumed was BTDC, I assumed that because I turned the rotor clockwise to bring the marks to where I have them. Being a clockwise rotating dizzy, and rotation retards, I was retarding the timing and I assumed that would bring it BTDC, not ATDC. Am I wrong in this assumption?

Could the distributor drive be a tooth off as Moper suggests? That would be extremely easy to fix. And I would love an easy fix!
