Re: [Amc-list] How do I install a distributor

[Wayne E LaMothe <superglider@xxxxxxxx>]

Other may do it differently but line up the timing mark on the harmonic
balancer with the zero degree mark.  Use a long screwdriver and rotate
the oil pump slot until it is pointing to 11 O:clock.  Drop the dizzy in
and the rotor should swing around to the number 1 wire spot.  Should be
close enough to work.  Worse case is that it is 180 out.
