Distributor Shaft Alignment, Small sector to Left/driver side? or Right/pass. side? Options

[Gatornapper]

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,

In the Haynes manual on p. 65, Figure 3.6, there is a similar photo to Garland's pic on Post 2 - BUT, in the Haynes photo I cannot tell whether the "small segment" of the dizzy driveshaft is to the right of center or to the left of center. It clearly says this is the position at TDC.

In Garland's photo, clearly the "small segment" of the dizzy driveshaft is to the right of center. This is how it was when I inserted the dizzy last week.

Now follow me on this please: If Garland's pic is where the dizzy driveshaft is at TDC of #1 on compression stroke, then on the exhaust stroke TDC the dizzy driveshaft would be 1/2 revolution (1 full engine revolution) from the TDC compression stroke - putting the "small segment" of the shaft on the left side of the shaft center.

Does that make sense?
