Correct. If you have a problem lining it all up properly, the "window" can
be moved within its crimp. In other words rotated in relation to the
distributor shaft to attain correct alignment. But be careful not to deform
it, the metal is soft. After changing that set the timing to zero and
recheck the rotor alignment to center it in relation to number one on the
cap.
