If turning the distributor has no effect, then why won't the engine run if you move the distributor as little as one tooth forward or one tooth backward? If it had no effect then you could just throw the distributor back into it's hole and drive on. The firing of the cylinders HAS to be TIMED with fuel delivery and stroke in order to run, yes?
