So, are you saying that you DON'T have to mark where the rotor is before
removing the distributor, because it won't mess anything up?

NOT that I didn't just do that...OK, I did (popped the old one out w/out
marking any locations).

one minor problem.
the timing curve is not determined on a 2.1 wbxr engine in the distributor.

the Timing Curve ..advancing of timing according to load and rpm, is
determined by the ecu, and electronically adjusted according to needs.

so timing curve being  'not right' wouldn't usually be due to the
distributor itself in a 2.1 .
i.e. there's no centrifugal advance, no vacuum advance or retard, etc.
I'm sure they can get worn and have excessive shaft side play, though I've
never seen that in a 2.1 distributor
