[Healeys] distributor off

[Dave Porter]

	It's not on the compression stroke. Turn it again. The valves on #6
will be 'rocking" One going up and one going down simultaneously. And the
valves on # 1 will both be closed (compression) when it is correct. Then
check the position of the rotor to be appox. Pointing at the coil wire
connection. If not pull the dist. and drive gear to be in the position you
want. The only reason for the 20 to 2 is to allow room for the dist. body to
move enough without interference of the vacuum chamber.. The dist. doesn't
care so long as the rotor is pointing to the # 1 wire when #1 is on
compression stroke.

How can a distributor be 180 degrees off? with my engine at 15 degrees BTDC
the rotor is pointing at #6 instead of #1. The drive is at the correct "20
to
2" position and the offset on the drive dog only allows it to be fitted one
way. Many thanks and Happy T-day.
