I should clarify. To the extent that I can rotate the distributor easily after assembly I am up against the end of the range of motion.

Terry, Is there a proper way to position the distributor after reassembly? I put my 1917 4 cyl motor back together after water pump repair with the dots positioned and the pump shaft placed randomly. Now the car starts quickly but runs as if retarded even if the lever on the wheel is fully advanced. I put all of the linkages back together as they were before as best I could tell. Jim
