    The chances are excellent. You turn the mag plate to get the peak (and the points opening) at the correct crankshaft timing angle.

    Only one of those events can be precisely set. You either time for optimal spark energy, or you time for the most efficient crank angle – you can’t have both.

    Fortunately, the former has a fair amount of angular ‘slop’ – the latter, not so much.
