After my rebuild i need to know if this looks right. When i was putting it together i thought i fallowed the instructions of tom Wilson's book. But i may have done something wrong. With the piston at top of stroke the red mark it lined up but the rotor is between 1and 2 at the cap with the mark on the dizzy pointing to the case deciding line. If you look close there is a mark to the left of the red one and that correspondence to a factory mark on the opposite sidethat i thought should be showing with the piston at the top. But its not showing but the red one shows. The mark on the flywheel is dead center though. Can someone guide me from here? The motor is a 1.8Lt, 96 pistons stock crank, scat cam for carbs, 34 ict dual carbs. Thank

I'll let others comment on the mark.....
You should take the caps off both sides of the advance can if you are not going to use it. |

If the advance is not being used it should not matter if the ports are capped or open. Jim Never ever cap your advance even if you are not using it.

As McMark says - tell your friends (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) Sorry but I don't see a reason not to. If you are just using one side of the vacuum canister then you shouldn't cap the other side air needs to be able to go in and out of the unused side. If the vacuum advance is not used, then capping either or both sides will have no impact on any other function of the distributor. The mechanical advance does not move the vacuum advance mechanism.
