If the distributor drive gear is a tooth off of the
orientation recommended in the shop manual, then the orientation
of your vacuum advance will be different. It does not affect the
running of the car.<br>

you have a faulty or wrong rotor. Plug wires: 1342 going

We have a problem. New points, new distributor, new rotor,
battery while not new is functional. main symptom is the
timing light on number 1 shows consistent spark and number
4 shows intermittent spark. Any suggestions? at the moment
car turns over but won't start.<br>
