Re: [T3] Yet another dizzy question pt. 2

You seem to have covered everything, but you might set the engine
to TDC on number one, and see where the rotor is pointing.  I
know you stated you checked the wires, but it sure sounds like
they are out of sequence.  I don't think that you can force the
drive shoe into the drive gear 180 out, but you can tap the pin
out of the drive shoe, and reinstall it 180 degrees out.
