Hmm. When you don't do this stuff for a few years, it gets away from you.
As part of an attempted tune-up on my '78 Bus, I removed the distributor to have a look-see. (Subpoint: need to replace bushings: where get?)
On reinstalling, forgot to seat it properly. Isn't the contact on the rotor supposed to line up with the notch on the edge of the distributor housing, when you're around top-dead center? Mine is now 180 degrees off.
Am I confused on the theory here? If not, how do I get the distributor properly realigned? Thanks, RM
