Phasing rotor cap

[Animal]

I have a mifire @ around 3000 revs.

Cut a slot in the dizzy cap,only to find the rotor was fireing No 1 plug between No 1 & No 8 on cap tower.

What would be the best way to set the dial back timing light to when I point it in the dizzy cap @ around 3000 revs,in other words,do I set the dial back on the light @ 35*,the same as on the damper(total timing 35*) & is it better to move the reluctor or the pick up.

I am hoping to get the rotor arm dead centre to the post on the cap @ 3000 revs.I am using the mopar performance dizzy.

Thanks Guys.

the center relutor has 2 slots .possibly it is on the wrong way & just using the other slot could line things up correctly

Here's one solution but it isn't cheap:

Thanks guys,just got the reluctor lined up with the pickup when rotor arm is positioned bang in line with one of the towers on the cap & redrilled the reluctor to shaft,I must of got confused with the timing thing,as far as I can see,the timing makes no difference at all when rephasing the cap,rotor,pickup & reluctor.Obviously I reset the timing to 20*initial  34* total,no vac.(i recurved the mechanical advance)

Motor seems to run a lot crisper & more responsive,a job worth doing.Please advise if I have missed something.

Thanks again guys.
