RE: [T3] a breakthrough.....maybe.....


180 on the crank is the same as 90 on the distributor.  If you turn the fan
pulley 180-degrees you'll see the distributor rotor turn only 90-degrees.

The flat spot, 180-degrees from the other timing marks, is the one you want.
Don't be so literal, 180-degrees is 180-degrees and those flat spots are
what you want.

The most accurate alignment is by the fan pulley as this is bolted
*directly* to the crank.
