Re: ignition timing
the drive shaft is offset so it only goes in one way i think. if its in the other way round the rotor arm will point in the other direction to number 4 cylinder. when the piston for number 1 cylinder is at tdc the rotor arm is in the afor mentioned position.
rotor arm to no 1 plug
