    I replaced the distributor on my '84 XN6 with a newer XN6 model
    distributor (thanks, Brian Holm!). However, with the older
    distributor, it was easy to set the timing: turn the engine until an
    arm of the starwheel lined up with the Hall effect sensor. On the
    newer one, the elements below the rotor are encased in metal; you
    cannot SEE the Hall effect sensor. I do note there is a view hole in
    the lower part of the distributor body. Is that for setting the
    timing? What do I line up in the hole?
