Did you remember that steel "doughnut" or distributor drive gear adapter?
When I had the engine rebuilt by the machine shop, I kept the doughnut and
the distributor together with the vehicle, so this innocuous part wouldn't
go astray. Didn't discover that the machine shop had the distributor drive
gear 180 degrees out 'til the engine was back in place. Rather than having
it fire 4-2-1-3, I pulled the gear and spent the better part of an
afternoon hunched over the wing trying to get it and that damned grub screw
back in correctly. I lost count of the number of times I was one spline
off, 'cause the gear rotates as it slides into place on the
camshaft...maddening.... A short break away from the vehicle and a stiff
drink helped immeasurably.
Cheers
