I can't believe it!! After trying for an hour this afternoon, I had
given up.
When I got the advice from Stan and Lou, I was skeptical because, as Lou
said,
it sure DOES look like it will fit both ways and their solution seemed
TOO easy,
but..... I went back out to the garage, rotated the dizzy shaft 180
degrees and it
instantly dropped in without a bit of trouble!! I did a double take! So
simple!!!
Hey guys, you're the best! Is this where Homer goes "Doh!" ?
Many thanks!
