Listers,
 
Does the distributor drive gear that engages the cam  have a direction? Let 
me see if I can explain this better, will the distributor  drive fit the slots 
in the gear at both 0 and 180 degrees? Mine seems to fit the  slots and drop 
down in only one direction at 180 degrees off #1 plug at TDC  which is off 
course wrong. 

By measuring drive tabs and looking at the  gear slot, it looks like it 
should go in both ways 180 degrees different but  mine won't. I hate to think I 
put 
the drive gear in 180 degrees out when I  rebuilt the engine, it didn't look 
like it had a direction to the slot other  than the 7-8 o'clock alignment that 
the books call for. Has anybody had this  problem? 
 
Thanks for your help,


Lou
