Hmm. Not normal. With the motor continuously cranking, there should be a steady stream of sparks jumping from the coil wire to ground. If there's only one spark, there is a problem. Switching the ignition OFF should result in circuit OFF.

Yes, the rotor aligns with and fits over the notch on the dist. shaft.
