[QUOTE="Graham L, post: 638399, member: 3481"] We see this a lot when people swap from an 009 to a vac advance, no1 is 90 degrees out from where it is an an 009, you should always set your engine to TDC before removing the dizzy so you have a datum point to see what happens when you install the new dizzy. As long as the dizzy drive was put in correctly when the engine was built then the rotor arm points to approx 5 o clock ie out of the engine bay to the right when an 009 is fitted, with a vac advance the rotor arm points to No 1 cylinder so 2 o clock when looking down. When swapping from 009 to Vac advance its normal to remove the leads from the dizzy cap and move them one position anti clockwise, see illustration below. Always best to get the engine to TDC and see where the rotor arm is pointing. [ATTACH type="full"]5689[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
