That is what I'm saying.

I think that is the case... but should that even matter? As long as the rotor button points at the notch when the cam and crank are at 0°, it should be able to start.

>With belt on, Crank and Cam at 0° tcd, reposition the distributor so the rotor points at the notch. >Then hand crank it thru 1 rev to verify that all 3 (C&C + Dist) are still aligned at 0°tdc. If so, it should >work, IMO.

That's all I can think to do, but I can't convince myself that it will change anything...

Thanks,
