Here's a pic of the rotor. It's pointing towards the center of the firewall, as I've read is correct. The engine is at TDC. The distributor body is turned as far as it can go counterclockwise, which is the only way to get it to the current timing, as mentioned above. To get to 5* BTDC with the plug grounded, I'd need to turn the distributor further CCW, but that is not possible. I've moved the dist. one tooth in both directions, and can't get any closer than it is now.
