OK, so let's say that I'm off 180deg and I do NOT plan on turning the drive gear around... Does that now mean that the notch on the distributor would be TDC for #3 instead of #1? Or do I still wire everything as if the notch was at #1? This might be a simple question, but I'm brain dead at the moment from long hours at work. :) > It is easy to check.

I'll use the "straw in the hole" technique that someone on here suggested. :) Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
