    They are very hard to turn because you are pushing against a vary strong magnetic field. When turning they will feel like they are binding and then quickly snap around. Becareful because at that point they snap they can generate a very strong spark out the coil wire.

    It is best to wear a Mechanix Glove or put a rag on it to protect your hand when turning

    phase rotor

    you do not need to turn it over to phase the rotor.
    Per my conversation with msd a couple days ago,
    mark the mag where the last corner of the contact is in the mag cap.
    set the mag on the counter, the back corner of the finger should line up with your mark when the mag is at rest.

    Not actualy trying to phase more change which terminal is no. 1. and can't change clocking of the housing due to the wires hitting heads.

    hard to drive 44 mags driveline?

    When you Chevy guys are putting these hard to turn 44 mags on, do you still drive them with the normal Ø.500" driveshaft and 3/16" pin or do you go to something different?

    For you hemi guys, what pin and shaft diameter is normally used to drive your 44 mags?
