273 Electronic Ignition Issues

Is it possible that the distributor clamp was loose and allowed the dist' to turn? Its not even close to where it should be. Vacuum port on spark advance should be pointed to the right. This isn't so critical if you know where the rotor is and where plug wires belong. Maybe the installer put the distributor in this way but... Dropping the distributor in just any wrong position doesn't help the novice. Factory diagrams, #1 marked on the cap, etc,, will not apply. Good luck with it.
