[6pack] curious dizzy

[William McIntire]

Dave,
Is it possible the keyway at the bottom of the dist is is installed 180 out?  It won't really fit this way but stranger things have happened.  If it drags enough it may rotate the dist. and try to run 180 out. I suppose it may be possible to install the key on the shaft backwards while rebuilding the unit. Just swapping the distributors and using same cap shouldn't cause the problem.  If you get in the area, might take a look. Set point dist so you know it is firing #1 with cap off. swap units and see where the rotor points. If it is at #6, there ya go.
Good luck.
Bill
