[Spridgets] Texas OSHIT Week 2 recap

[Jon Paschke]

Hi,

As our friend Frank once pointed out, one of the manuals is wrong on how 
to install the distributor drive in the block by 180 degrees and the 
other thing is the dog on the dizzy is held on by a roll pin so if it's 
rebuilt the dog gear could be 180 off also. Just move the plug wires 180 
if you don't want to pull the drive gear out. It is easy to pull it and 
change it to the right position if you want.
