After 2 1/2 years I finally fired it up today. Had to rotate the distributer counterclockways alot, now im hitting the fiewall. Obviously Im off a tooth. Which direction do I need to move the rotor when I remove the distributer? 1 tooth clockwise or 1 tooth counterclockwise.

move the wires foward one notch in the cap.

thats the way it goes.

After 2 1/2 years Im just thrilled to actually hear it run. Moving it a tooth is no big deal. Have a couple other issues to deal with. The gas gauge is not working (New Dolphin gauge) dont know if its the gauge or the sender. Sender is a new tube type that came with the Summit fuel Cell. 0-90 ohm. Dolphin stated that their gauge was for a 0-90 sender. Also the flywheel cover was hitting the flywheel, need to do some "custom" modification to the cover. All in all, minor problems to correct.

youre getting there.
