Base Timing Questions

Ok, so I got off my rear. The distributor installed is a new china that had a bad pickup. I had replaced with a NOS chrysler pickup that was 300 ohm, but had trouble with maintaining the reluctor gap because the Y clip that holds the plate down was broken and I had to improvise. Wasted more time on that. I ordered an actual chrysler distributor that was a reman and had not gotten around to testing until today. I also ordered a new china small cap hei they have now thinking I would swap the male terminal cap for the standard female cap and keep my new superstock plug wires I put together. Nothing interchanges.

I checked W and found the hei putting out 1.31vdc bias (typical 1.25vdc but it varies), spun the engine over and G showed a little less through the winding (1.25vdc) but did not fluctuate.

Plugged in the reman (426 ohm pickup), spun it by hand and got a fluctuating voltage on G plus I could hear it arcing inside the installed distributor's cap. Stay away from China junk and I don't mean the boat.

I apologize for the thread hijack and will try to stop doing that.
