What Joe says!

You can put the distributor in with any physical orientation you want (most
of them put the vacc. adv. somewhere inconvenient) as long as #1 fires at
TDC power stroke. If the rotor is pointing backwards it's OK, as long as the
wire there is to the right cylinder.

Reminds me I have to buy a new balancer for my new motor. Someone's reproing
them, $100 I think.
