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.

<div>The pulley is solid Aluminum, cam timing is spot on with

When I put a pointer on the 5/16" bolt of hte timing cover, I
marked the pulley beneath it with the timing mark on TDC,
turned the engine and filed the mark into the pulley. There
shouldn't be any question as to the alignment, but when
