[big gear head]

Thanks for the help guys. I was able to get it in the correct position and get the cable connected the way it's supposed to be. I would have never thought of rotating the distributor gear 180 degrees, but that is what I had to do. I would have bet that it had never been off before, but after I looked at it I could see where the pin had been driven out before. There is VERY little room to adjust the timing after the shield is in place and the cable is connected.
