w timing marks on TDC (#1 compression) is the intermediate shaft slot pointing to the front pass intake bolt and does that then place the rotor tip forward & a bit to the pass side(w the vac can away from the pass firewall so it has room to be adjusted back or forth. This would be the factory position & keeps the plug wire routing consistant

If it's 180 out just pull the distributor up a little and turn the rotor 180*. The thing will fire no matter where the pick up is located.

Put your timing marks to where you want your initial at & put the dist in & rotate it so the vac pot has some room to be moved either way AND that the reluctor is lined up w the magnet slit & is JUST starting to move away from it(no matter where on the clock that ends up being at). The dist terminal above the rotor will be where you would start w #1 plug wire. If you do not want to pull/reroute the plug wires at the dist then move the inter shaft/slot to position the rotor where the #1 wire is currently(or where you want it to be) and the factory(#1) position of forward & slightly to the pass side works good and as before that the reluctor is now lined up(plus a hair CW, this is a SB right) and the vac can has room to be moved.

I just put one(with the new ignitor III) in my 383 and it's at 28 intial just to idle. Runs great over 1500 RPM with great crisp throttle. BUT, it doesn't idle well and I can't get it to start unless I cross the solenoid on the firewall. It seems to drop voltage too much turning the key and I have the positive wire and coil on the hotter side of the resistor. I also had to move the wires one to the(l-r can't member) to get the vac pot in a decent location.
Yep I'm there. I had to move the wire on the cap 3 poles to clear the firewall or other things.
I would find it nearly impossible for the gear to move up and rotate one tooth and drop back on the cam when I changed the disty. I also had to mash one wire because the cap is so tight to the wiper motor on my dart.
I sound like I am only hittin on 7 or so. It's weird. I am not sure how the sensor works to know when it's on firing position or not, but that might explain why I lost 2 InHg. Here's there instructions for install and some pictures.
DISTRIBUTORINSTALLATION1.Remove the Flame-Thrower billet distributor cap.2.Install the distributor gasket over the gear, and up to the distributor collar.Use a small amount of gasket adhesive to help hold the gasket in place.3.Lubricate the distributor gear and distributor shaft with clean engine oil.4.Turn the shaft so that when the distributor is placed into the engine, the rotor position matches that of the original distributor.As the distributor drops down, the rotor will turn slightly as it engages with the camshaft gear.Adjust for this rotation by turning the rotor a few degrees prior to the gear engagement.Several attempts may be necessary to achieve the proper rotor position.The distributor collar should sit completely flat on the intake manifold or block.5.Place the distributor cap onto the housing.6.Turn the housing so that the terminal, that represents the first cylinder in the firing order, lines up with the rotor.7.Install the distributor hold down and tighten the hold down bolt slightly.Once the ignition timing is adjusted the hold down bolt should be tightened completely.

You may need to have the voltage knocked back to 6v instead of a full 12v. The manual should give you min voltage requirements and you might have to do a loaded voltage test on the coil. I know there are specific coil voltage requirements for the different modules. I've got troubleshooting instructions for the Ignitor I and II only.
With all the Ignitor modules, leaving the key in the RUN position for more than 30 seconds burns up the module.

If you pulled the dist with it at No1 then just install the new one at the same position.The pickup dosent matter.As long as the vacuum pot isnt hitting its OK too.I believ you ditch the ballast with the Petronix.Thats why they give you inxtructions.I ibstalled a few of them and they are easy.The pot will move once you set the timing.It dosent care where its at either as long as it can be adjusted.Rocky
