Perhaps I'm missing something, but the relative position of the rotor and point cam lobe cannot be changed by moving the drive gear.  Thus, you cannot get the light to illuminate with the rotor in a different place by moving the gear.

I suspect, as another poster said, that the distributor is being checked in the wrong direction.  Or else the point gap is incorrect.  Or I don't understand the problem.
