Well you can't install a Model A distributor 180° out as the tab prevents that but I know what you mean. If someone installed the point cam in the incorrect position it would be the same thing.

I'm certainly too "thrifty" to buy one and have also marked the pulley to show TDC to use with my NuRex timing indicator strip. Some of us are interested in gimmicks just to know about them.
