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 |

this last pic of rotor has it pointed at #2. that is not where it should be to static time. your tins are stamped with each cylinder # and the firing order is stamped up on right side tin by fan housing. use the factory stampings for position, don't reinvent the wheel. put engine at tdc on cyl #1. timing mark on fan and flywheel should be in the apertures. clock distributor so that rotor is pointing at cyl #1. ( 1 position back from in the photo) set your points at this point and you should be close. you only need to time one cylinder correctly then the engineering magic occurs on the other three. forget about the marks on the distributor body, the rotor contact is the index.
