TGOOD, Even Mikes couldn't make a mistake by setting the pick off by 180%, on he stater........the points are in the way
The pick up can only go i one place. Could there be a manufacturing fault on screw placement..........maybe............ I would explore other options first. Set it up and use a timing light.........XSJohn, (RIP), did a small mod on his TCI ignition by slotting the screw hole on the pickup...This was so he could advance or retard, (can't remember which), Wouldn't have to move that much at all to make a difference.
To reiterate, i would be exhausting all other avenues first or check the old Stator against the new one before installing
