problem timing pick pip sensor replacement.

I replaced my pip sensor, before dismantling I made sublon distributor brands, and when reassembling I can't get back exactly on my tracks, I'm slightly off.

so I think the pinion during assembly must have been slightly shifted.
so instead of being at 10 btc as before dismantling, I found myself at 8 btc after reassembly.
it's serious or I just have to adjust it to 10 btc?

Adjust the base timing and be done with it. It's not serious but it would behoove you to adjust to the factory setting or a few degrees more if you want to try a few more degrees like many have done.

I think it was already disassembled because the marks do not look original.
I put my timing back to 10 btc I'll leave as.
Thanks for your answer, that's really cool.

here is a photo of min distributor settled.
compare to other photos my thread 1 and more to the right, while some photos seem to be more to the left of the admissions.

but if that is nothing, so much the better.

Looks like the distributor may be stabbed one tooth off. Not a big deal.

okay it works well even if it's not serious I prefer to put it back like the original so I think to put it back a tooth less to be sure.
