Why is distributor pointing away from #1 on TDC?

And no one says you "have" to. The orientation described is in the FSM. It's not that hard to achieve.

It is very hard to acheive w/ raised port heads and a chevy type distributor , "used by fast f/inj systems'' , lot of clearanceing on a victor knock off head !!

If I had to do it over , I`d use a locked out MSD mopar dist. , live and learn .
