just rebuilt runs bad

I'm just going to throw this out there because my brains starting to get fuzzy-er,, maybe someone else can straighten this idea out,,

If you're advancing it 45 degrees at the crank, that's going to be 22 1/2 at the cap , your rotor is half way to the next plug wire contact, so a stock ignition likely won't make the jump,, and with the old MSD system,, wouldn't you be hearing a tremendous snap as the spark jumped from rotor to cap,... hmmmm?

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this. It's giving me that "downing a slushy" thing (too funny) you had mentioned.

Is the dizzy cap locator right, or is cap twisted somehow? or rotor locator broken, rotor twisted, rotor end contact bent??

I'll take a really close look.
