[Fot] TR-3/4 Distributor Drive Orientation

[Jack Wheeler]

 Thanks Phil.  That's a big help.  I'm trying to set up a new electronic distributor for my street TR-3, and I don't have a TR distributor available for reference.

 The keyway is pointing away from the block. Easier to see than the offset.Phil

Confirm with distributor when rotor is pointed to No.1 plug wire location.

Subject: [Fot] TR-3/4 Distributor Drive Orientation I must have done this hundreds of times, but it has been a number of years, and I can't remember.  See the attached picture from the TR-4 Workshop Manual.  It shows the orientation of the distributor drive gear with the #1 piston at TDC in the firing position.  Maybe my eyes are going, but I can't tell from the picture if the slot in the drive gear is offset toward the block, or away from the block.  Please help.
Thanks.
Jack
