I got my nice friendly local garage to remove the flywheel bolt on an engine, and they seperated the flywheel too. Is there any way of knowing the position it was fitted so that it can go back the same, or do I have to get it all balanced again?

Is it set according to dizzy part no. Or by engine type? Found info on 'old volks home' site that says dizzy was originally specced for a 1970 auto beetle 1600 which I guess was a single port engine, it's now fitted to a manual bus 1600 tp Dizzy set to 0 deg @ 800-950 rpm vac disconnected and...
