440 distributor drive gear slot position? - 05/20/09 01:00 PM
At TDC should the slot for the distributor gear run parallel with the crank and rotor point to #1 cylinder?

Ya but you don't HAVE to
The only reason that there are prescribed ways of installing distro's is:
so the assembly line folks can do it all over again
so the plug wires and vacuum advance "sit" right
so a tuneup mechanic "sees" what he expects to see.
Only rigs this isn't true is stuff like V6's where every other pair of cylinders fires closer together
