The drive slot is TDC, if it sparks out #1 wire its good or even 180 to drives side contact.
I don,t know how much there is the play with + /- 10 degs
As for the wires Post by Tomo #121 shows the numbering on caps
looking from fender on both side.
If those caps were to get mixed, wires attached. IT would,nt work
Dist only goes in one way,dist bolts only one way.
So its the wires or rotor indexing
Don,t think it was ever a spark problem.
George,i have to differ with your statement [dist will only go in one way] Not true. It can and has been put in 180 off by some people and most of the time it busts the outer housing. PS one of my customers did so after i rebuilt it for him.Result was back in shop for another housing at his expense. ken ct.
