Additional thoughts

I didnt realize that all gear driven camshaft motors were reverse rotation. that makes a lot of sense, so I think I understand what he was truly asking me when he was asking for info..

He knew the motor was a reverse rotation motor, he wanted to know if it had the standard backwards firing order (1-2-7-5-6-3-4-8) or if it was weird and despite its RH nature still had a LH 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. So when I told him it was a standard motor, that meant it was standard for a RH motor! Based on what others have said, they just change the gear on the distributor and use the reverse firing order.

Whew, i think that clears everything up.. Im feeling pretty good, so next weekend we should have D-Day on our hands.

A note on ignition timing.. On the flyweel the only mark on the flywheel for timing is an "R" thats got a blue paint mark. Is that the one I want to set my base timing at?

All I have to do now is figure out where this whole mess of hoses and fittings go, which shouldnt be that big of an issue..
