Stupid Distributor Questions

huh? just turn the distyribtor.

I agree....HUH?????? the reason its in the position that the FSM states is for the boneheads that were in the factory so there was one way to do it. technically speaking for any distributor run car, you can bring it up to #1tdc and drop the distributor anywhere you want. #1 does NOT have to face any exact position. the factory did it so the dealership mechanics and the guys at the factory would have only one way to put things. it also helps with plug wire routing. It has NOTHING to do with one tooth off.
