Okay, clearly rotating the crank is a bad idea, but I am still puzzled. When I attach an inuductive timing light to #1 wire, it is firing as the timing mark on the crank pulley reaches TDC. If I move the plug wires, then won't a different cylinder be firing at TDC? What about the relationship (2:1) between crank rotation and distributor rotation? I think maybe I'm just obtuse, but it seems like moving wires would make the problem worse, not better. The more I think about it, the more confused I seem to get.
