    OK I know I've seen a drawing of how the oil pump shaft is supposed to be @ #1 TDC when peering down the dizzy hole, I'm in fact pretty sure I've taken a picture of how it looks but I'll be darned if I can find it/it/them now :(

    Anyone got one/one/both handy?

    The wider side is on the top. When correct it should point to approximately 11 0'clock. I thought the FSM had a pic, now I can't find it.

    Yeah that's what I read too, so this is in fact correct?

    It has been 13 years, but I remember having my distributor in and out a few time trying to index it correctly to the oil pump. At 74 years old I got CRS, Can't Remember :poo:, real bad, so I have to work on it.

    Thanks Glen, that's what I thought but wanted to be sure.

    It's one of those things I always have to look at the manual myself for, so we're either both right or both wrong. :D
