highly unlikely - it has no load. only way something like that can
happen is if the retainer ring somehow disappears...

Re: DelSol B16A Ignition Timing out but Cam Belt Timing is correct
Its actually got a brand new distributor on it.
The car had a misfire so I ordered an ignition module and a coil but
got sent a whole distributor. Result!
Missfire was solved, but the timing issue is the same with both dizzys.
I too was convinced all the symptoms pointed towards the timing belt,
but I have checked it numerous times.
Everything seems to line up the arrows on the cams point upwards, the
center lines line up, and the TDC mark ( white on by itself) lines up
with the mark on the plastic casing.
I'm no professional, so I'm going to have take it to a garage to have
them check the cambelt.
I was expecting something not to line up. At least by a few degrees.

OK, like I say, I haven't looked at one. "honda" Just wanted to
mention it
in case it did have some type of lock, pin, or whatever for a gear or
drive..

The distributor drive shaft keys to the camshaft with a slotted arrangement
that looks a bit like a large flat-blade screwdriver. It would take quite
an event to shear that.
The slot and key are offset from the axial center, so the distributor can
only go on one way. The timing belt, however, can very easily be off by one
tooth.

The distributor drive shaft keys to the camshaft with a slotted arrangement
that looks a bit like a large flat-blade screwdriver. It would take quite
an event to shear that.
The slot and key are offset from the axial center, so the distributor can
only go on one way. The timing belt, however, can very easily be off by one
tooth.

Re: DelSol B16A Ignition Timing out but Cam Belt Timing is correct
When you checked the cam belt timing, did you use the timing marks on
the flywheel? (you mentioned a plastic cover with white mark). I would
check to see if the vacuum advance in the distributor is binding, or
stuck, or out of adjustment.
