[Healeys] Distributor on the 100 engine

[Tadeusz Malkiewicz]

Many thanks Kees,

I am just not sure I understand it all - where is the dog? Top of shaft?
Bottom?

There is a photo of the distributor on the Advanced Distributors web page:

  Tadek,
The offset dog on the distributor shaft should engage in a slot in the 
top of the driving shaft. This slot is also off center so that it will 
only engage in one position. Insert the distributor and press down 
lightly, then turn the distributor shaft slowly and if all is well it 
should engage at some point. You may have to lift the distributor once 
or twice for succes. After that the distributor body will sink and sit 
properly. Never use undue force.
