SO originally I thought this was a single fire situation, but then I realized there was this spinning copper connector that hits each post at different time.

Its a single fire setup. Compare it to the single fire parts on the joe hunt website.
did you not read the last post you had on this?

Adjustment? I don't see how I could adjust it like the Hunt...

ARD is a fixed timing magneto and ARD made both dual and single fire mags, most are single fire mags, and your's is a single fire mag, there is a small rotor on the inside of the cap that sends the spark to each plug separately, so it does matter which wire goes to which plug.
