Can this be "changed"? If so how? yes all numbers match s The drive on one of the distributors must have been installed 180 off during a repair or rebuild. It can be properly changed or as already stated, change wires to correspond. To confirm which dizzy is wrong, refer to Haynes or other manual for proper distributor cam gear orientation (at TDC). If you lift gear out of case to change orientation, BEWARE there is a thrust washer underneath which should be placed on gear bottom with grease upon re-installation so it does not drop off. |
