Bill,
You are very welcome. Ask if you need help. I am here for that.
You will need to move pickup. If it seems to run, the polarity is reversed.
Like Del says if the wires are switched, the trigger point is in between teeth, and is not well defined, timing will jump all over the place. If you look at the upper right waveform in post #26, imagine the waveform flipped. There is a vertical line that goes from the lower wave zero up to upper wave. There are small bumps, that is where the trigger will happen, it may be near 6 degrees, but is a horrible trigger point, and will not be stable, I am certain of that.
Most DPDT switches have bounce. That may lead to a misfire or so. I might have a Mercury wetted instrumentation relay to help reduce that.
I am thinking if you make a small two hole tapped plate, that has the mounting hole spacing. Then you can use slots in the base plate, and have adjustability from above. Use screws with captivated lock washers. 6-32?
