I am a bit stumped now with this so any help is most appreciated.
I have a 1600 van running twin kadrons and a 009 dizzy, ie no vacuum pipes to the kadrons. Recently took it to rolling road for a tune up and the guy said it was great but would benefit from a new dizzy as there was play in the bearings/ Shaft. So i got myself a genuine bosch 009 recon'd dizzy to swap over. This is the first time i have attempted this so read up as much as i could and started to have a go. move the engine over by hand so the rotor was at the timing mark on the dizzy case, checked the pulley was at tdc, then took the rocker cover off so check both valves on number one were closed ie number 1 cylinder at TDC not number3. Removed the old dizzy from the case and when i go to slot the new one in with the rotor at the case timing mark it won't slot right in as the offset pins on the bottom of the dizzy shaft are 180 degrees out, ie the wrong side of where they should be. Am i right so far or have i messed up somewhere along the line????
any help greatfully received.......
