Hello,
I was installing my new SVDA dizzy tonight when I think something got screwed up... I had the 009 bumped to the #1 cyl position (notch on the dizzy), removed it, and put the new one in--I initially had some trouble getting the base to line up into the notch, but after I finally seated it, the rotor now seems to be pointing to the #4 position (directly towards the front of the car). I initially thought the notch was toward the #1 position (about 2 o'clock on the 009), and it seems I somehow moved it to the 12 o'clock position as I tried to install the new dizzy. I didn't think it was possible to do such a thing?? Is there something I'm missing? |

The dizzy is installed and seated properly? In other words, the offset on the engagement hub matches the offset on the dizzy drive gear? If so, you could pull the hub off the bottom of the dizzy and rotate it 180 degrees. Or, you could simply rotate the wires two positions and forget about it. The engine doesn't care how the dizzy is lined up as long as the wires are in the right order and that this order follows after the number 1 wire fires the number 1 spark plug at (more or less) TDC. Where the rotor is at that time is inconsequential.
