To tell you the truth, I am not quite sure how timing works. The new
distributor I got has the vaccuum mounted on the opposite side of the notch
in the rim, so if I turn the distributor body when the rotor arm is pointing
to TDC #1(pointing toward right hole closest to back of car) the body won't
turn that far because the vacuum hits the tin on the left. So I asked some
mechanics and they said that I can set TDC anywhere on the distributor. I am
not quite sure how to do that. Do the points need to be fully open at TDC? I
live in wheaton, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.
