Well my slant is slotted as well but at an angle. You need to set it back a tooth cause it will rotate as it drops in. I'm my slant anyways. And your right my chevy sdoes it too.
"Moving" only happens on the distributors where the drive gear is actually on the distributor. The B/RB/ all early/ late (426) hemis, and all SB V8s just have a straight tang
I've said this many times, and one member on here pointed out "it can point to China."
The reality is........you can close your eyes and just throw the distributor shaft in any old way, and then throw the distributor in right after it. Does not matter.
Find no1 compression, set the timing marks and then plug the no1 wire in wherever the rotor is pointing. It WILL run. My first car was a 265 57 Chev. Hell I didn't know there was a RIGHT way to set up the dist. I had it two or three holes off. One day (this was when we had gas stations) the guy checking my oil says, "how does this RUN, it's OUT OF TIME!!!" "Whut?" "Yeah, your plug wires are all in the wrong place"
