I believe so, part of what I'm trying to confirm. That's also why I said 25 degrees into distributor when there's 50 total at the crank. I'm still trying to learn so, so I could be way off on a lot of things regarding this stuff.
I misunderstood your question. I'm sure others can explain it better than me, but I believe you're thinking about it incorrectly. When you advance the ignition timing, it still sends a spark when the rotor hits the appropriate contact on the cap - it just happens sooner in a particular piston's stroke.
