Also PAY ATTENTION to the rotation arrows on the reluctors. Notice there are two keyways, one for CCW (big block) and one for CW (small block)

This would explain why my timing readings seem to be off from where they SHOULD be when my reluctor is lined up with the magnetic pickup!
I read that sam article when I did my re-curve but missed that little tidbit and have been pulling hairs out trying to dial in my timing, thinking "That reading just can't be right!"

Makes perfect sense now so thank you and I am glad I decided to browse this particular thread. Now I know what I am doing tonight!
