Subject:80-82 owners: distributor question
From:Paul Wies

My 82 has an 009 installed.  I purchased a correct 205 for it and have 2
questions:

When you have the timing set at 7.5 BTDC, where is the rotor pointing?

If you are looking down on the distributor, if the front of the Van would be
12 o clock and the rear bumper would be 6 o'clock, where is the vac adv
sitting at and where is the condenser sitting?

My guess is the PO installed the wrong engine tin, which won't allow me to
turn the distributor and seat it where it needs to be.
