And they point the wrong direction.
First you have to beat on the tin so the dizzy cap will fit. Then you have to index the dizzy drive shaft cause the rotor points at I don't know what. The vacuum cannister interferes with the oil filler tube. Kind of a mess Attached image(s) |

QUOTE(DNHunt @ Oct 2 2004, 05:46 PM) Rotor points toward cylinder #1. This isn't the same as stock but, I think it gives the most adjustment. Dave, My unilite is "indexed" so that #1 points straight at the front right hand corner of the rectangular base of the oil filler. That places the vac nozzle pointing straight at the center of the rear of the engine case, which is about 35-45 degrees counter clockwise from what I see in your pic. This provides plenty of room for adjustment and points the vac hose more in the direction of the passenger side carb which is where mine feeds to. Keeps it more out of the way and allows the shortest vac line. I marked the side of the mallory to indicate #1. That with a 180 degree mark on the flywheel helps keep me straight when adjusting my valves. Maybe I can get a pic of it and send it to you. I guess it doesn't matter where you select the index as long as the vac is physically free to avoid the oil spout base. |
