And they point the wrong direction.
First you have to beat on the tin so the dizzy cap will fit. Then you have to index the dizzy drive shaft cause the rotor points at I don't know what. The vacuum cannister interferes with the oil filler tube. Kind of a mess Attached image(s) |

QUOTE(Tom Perso @ Oct 2 2004, 04:01 PM) I've never seen the point of "indexing" the distributor driveshaft to the crank. I set the distributor on (I have the Mallory Unilite vac. advance myself) on the motor and crank #1 to TRD. Rotate the works until it lines up near a point on the cap and arrange the wires in their firing order. AFAIC, the only reason to make sure the rotor is alinged on the proper area of the cap was back in the days of #3 being retarded for T1 motors. Is this correct? Tom I'm with Tom on this issue. Does it really make a difference where you locate the #1 in the distributor as long as you maintain the proper firing order? Of course, the ignition wire length is something to think about!
