    Default Solved: mounting dizzy on 18rg, which way round, with scans thanks to 7M-GTE MX73 :-)

    Hi to all..
    one simple question,

    when a dizzy is mounted on 18RG, the vac advance diaphram
    faces forwards (towards front of engine) and when engine is at TDC rotor should
    be pointing towards roughly 2 o'clock(No.1). is that correct?

    thanks in advance for any pointers :-)

    I've taken some photos of the engine manual concerning how to install the dizzy mate.

    thanks mate your a champion :-D,
    I was close rotor ia at roughly 2 o'clock. reason I asked is I was suspisous of the what
    the engine builder had done when they built my RG image below



    photo was taken for someone else looking for a compatible thermo housing.
    if you look closely right below you just see what they had done, mounted the dizzy
    backwards with no1 HT lead at six o'oclock. thanks for the scans been a great help!
    it has also shown that I do not have the right crank pulley either so you killed two birds
    with one stone (scan)

    cheers :-D
