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 |

I don't know what you guys mean by different clock position?
tdc, compression on #1 is only one place, valves closed, tdc, timimg marks on both fan and flywheel in the holes visable. I just put a new 009 in an engine today, goes in same way as any other dist. rotor pointing at #1, points just breaking. there is no way to accurately line up the dist position with any marks on distributor body. cap only fits on one way (actually 2 ways 180 degrees apart but not relevant here) with rotor pointing at #1, put cap on, wire socket on cap wire goes to cyl #1. the rest of the wires are installed to corresponding cylinders following firing order on top right of tin. don't try to make cap what you think is tdc, set the enginge at tdc on 1, set points, install cap, install wires in firing order. its real simple. |
