<DIV>Good point Dave. I ran into that while rebuilding my T-34 engine, as I
had forgotten that the distributor I was using had the drive dog flipped, when
I set the distributor (and drive shaft) into the case (before the crank went
in). The reason for that was, I was using that very same distributor in a bug
case, and had flipped it, because the vac can wouldn't clear the type 3
generator or fuel pump like it was (the bug engine had been converted to
type 3 cooling). I had completely forgotten that I had done that some 13
years prior. :O In fact, when I resurrected that engine (for my 71
Square-Vert), and dropped a T-3 FI distributor in it, the plug wires were 180
out of normal. Note; this is a carb engine, but I was looking for a good
distributor (points and condenser) that would allow the engine to start. I
still have yet to reset the distributor drive in the t-34, as my tool still
hasn't returned from Chicago. :O
