Re: Distributor Question

[n9ads@domain.elided (Howard R Pletcher)]

My analysis is that looking at the engine from the front, the crank is
going clockwise and the cam counter-clockwise.  I think distributor has
to be on the left side of the camshaft, so it's being driven by the
downward moving side of the cam and the distributor is being pulled down
into the block.

Is there a prize?   Lots of large, unmarked bills, I hope.
