WTH
You run that on the street?
With or without the V-can?
Are those two parts fixed together?
Or just rattling around willy-nilly in there?
Do you have a Timing Computer somewhere?
It looks like a magnetic pick-up down in the bottom there, and probably a reluctor above it. Without advance flyweights, that system requires a Computer and a fixed rotor. So I have never seen that system before, and I imagine that round slug on the left in the picture, is the stopper for the driveshaft.
But I wonder where the flyweights and springs went
If the driveshaft is not fixed to the reluctor carrier, I see what looks like about a timing range of more than 30* , yeah and that could wreak havoc on the rotor-phasing. Between towers you only have 360/8= 45* and you can't use it all on one side. So you gotta have the rotor advancing from one side of the tower to the other side of the same tower, and always closer to the tower that is getting set to receive and transmit the spark. And of course, Chevy rotors are known to burn thru in the center .............
