Modelle - I assume that you are talking about a Marelli distributor. Installed correctly, the Crane system directly replaces the points. There should be no need to "phase" the rotor. The cap and rotor go on as before. Come to think of it, the first one of these I replaced was on a Spica system 1974 Spider on which I had installed a Bosch distributor. This was 1975 and the process was the same. Simply replace the points with the optical system (back then it was called Allison), replace the cap and rotor, then start the car. Simple and trouble free. I still have that original Allison system on another car.

I have replaced the points with a Crane XR700 optical system. Do you really have to destroy a distributor cap to do this? What is your technique?
