    bring motor to TDC set rotor pointing in direction of #1 wire have vaccuum advance a little towards left side of vehicle since theres more play generally that way and less to the right side of the car.... set the dist. in as far as it goes and then give the motor a small bump til the distributor drops down the rest of the way
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

    Thanks, Denny. Even us old technophobes can do something right once in a while.

    thanx guys!
    both the picture and the schematic help a lot with this issue!
    I should be able to get it set up correctly now...
    Going sideways through a bend isn't considered normal or even sane, so that's the way I like it!
