OK, better explain this to me in more detail.
Followed the Crane instructions faithfully, marking the Distributor body etc.

that the position of the sensor (Optical pickup) on the points plate can
cause this even after the Dist. is adjusted to provide proper timing at idle?
Just trying to understand the theory....
