Slant 6 engine ignition timing stays retarded.

FYI
On the small block Ds the reluctor is made universal by having two avalable slots, one for CW rotation and the other for CCW rotation. I can't imagine the six-vane slanty being machined like that, but I suppose looking wouldn't hurt.
And
Since that unit looks brand new, who knows if the roll-pin is correctly clocked.
Btw

There's only one slot therefore only one position to clock it. I've had it in and out multiple times over the last two months doing cleaning and maintenance. I had a bad pu coil in there and Rock Auto sucked by sending me two bad ones(two different brands. Long story). I ended up buying a nice NOS unit off ebay that works. So yeah, it's the original dist. Thanks, I got lucky on that shot, haha.
