Haynes Manual, page 65, Fig. 3.6, referenced from page 64, Pp. 6, #7: "install it so that.........an angle of 12 deg. .......with the small sector facing towards the outside of the car."
On my 914, the small sector is on the left. If I'm reading this correctly, this is ambiguous and does not clarify it "the outside of the car" is the Driver's side or Passenger side....... Can someone clarify this please? Or am I missing something (not the first time...)..... TIA, GN |

Question:
Is this not the correct position for the rotor on every 914 for TDC on #1? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-13474-1463348898_thumb.jpg) GN |

Question: Is this not the correct position for the rotor on every 914 for TDC on #1? GN With a stock dizzy, I believe you are correct. I had a helluva time trying to figure out 1-3-4-2 wire orientation on an 009 or 050 cap, where the rotor didn't point in the same direction as stock.. the mark on the case was at a different spot on the dizzy case, so TDC was clear, but the wires needed to be properly oriented on the cap. |
