Position of distributor rotor relative to engine position
I pulled the camshaft assembly and cylinder head off the engine and took these parts to a machine shop to be inspected (they were o.k.). The shop disassembled and reassembled the camshaft assembly before returning it to me.
My question presumes the engine is positioned with cylinder 1 at TDC on the compression stroke.
When the notch on the camshaft drive-gear is aligned with the mark on the housing, where should the rotor be pointing (spark for Cylinder 1? 2? 3? 4?)? It doesn't look right the way it is now (the rotor points a few degrees counter-clockwise from aligning with the notch on the camshaft gear -- is that its correct position?
Thanks in advance for your help.
