Hi Howard. I hope you don't mind as you have been very helpful. I have pulled off a school boy error. Navigating to the correct forum has been a challenge for me. Any-who, I recently went through the warm weather/cold weather Carter WCFB 2112S flooding circus. All is well, pedal to the floor and ether....however, in the process I changed the plugs, coil and added a new rotor. Unfortunately I did not mark the location of the rotor. The engine bogs now at cruising rpm around 30mph-40mph. Bogging and pulling sensation. Aside from carb adjustments, carter wcfb trouble-shooting point to "defective distributor advance mechanism" hence the rotor. I assume the issue is caused by me not precisely aligning the new rotor. Since I did not mark the location of the rotor how do I now align it correctly? Is it as simple as pointing it to the number (1) plug/cylinder on the distributor?
