318 LA Rotor position and TDC questions
I'm trying to think back about how i aligned my marks on the timing gears at the time. Here's a pic. I recall lining up the upper gear and lower gears so that they were closest to one another at 6:00 and 12:00.. That oil slinger is in the way, so I can't see the bottom gear in the pic. 90% sure I did it the right way. When I rotate the crank so that the timing marks indicate TDC, the slot is pointing right down the middle of the engine...Does that distributor drive gear only fall into place one way? Can I lift it out partially and rotate it so it is pointing correctly?
