Pissed off with motor, want to change

Jimmyray, I know you and a couple other guys are going back and forth on the distributor issue. I don't know enough to comment on who is right or who is wrong, so I will throw this out for you all to chew on. When I posted the pics of the dizzy and the reluctor was off the pick up, I had the timing marks at zero. The rotor was pointing straight down the middle of the car. I pulled the dizzy, turned the gear so the rotor was pointing at the front left intake bolt, set the timing mark at zero and the reluctor lined up dead on the pick up. I have heard it said it wouldn't matter where the gear was, and I agreed, but apparently it does make a difference. Or I screwed something up ... as usual! :-)
