Well duh! :D
I know that Tony, but I thought as long as the rotor was in range (phased) to the cap contacts the amount of advance on the rotor wouldn't matter if locked.
So basically I guess the question I am having is why does it matter where the weights are as long as the rotor tip is in the correct range of the cap terminal when the pickup fires?
Apparently you are saying that the rotor tip IS where it needs to be if the top hat of the shaft is locked at full advance of the weights.
Correct?
