Distributor Installation.

[keynsham1]

I have a 911SC and I am refitting the standard distributor after an engine rebuild. Wayne Dempsey's book shows the distributor fitted with the rotor lining up with a notch on the case, but it is a different distributor to mine as the book rebuilds a 2.7 not a 3.0. Bentleys book for the 911SC shows a picture of the correct distributor and says to align it as shown in a picture, but the arrows in the diagram are missing! I guess a publishing error. I think there is a notch on the casing of my distributor, but it is very small and almost looks like a scratch. Should I install the distributor with the rotor aligned to this mark?




Any pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like the right notch to me.
Just make sure your at top dead center on the compression stroke.
