Valve timing and ignition timing are two different functions. Like speedshopmike said, engines don't run when rotor is 180 out. An engine that is 180 out that runs...is one that has it's distributor (ignition timing) cranked around until the vacuum advance hits on something or the wiring harness doesn't allow it to turn any more.
