Timing “180 out”?

[TJ1978]

I never set one up 180* out at the cam or distributor, BUT! I did plug the wires onto the cap in the wrong rotation once! (counterclockwise) It ran, but popped both through the intake and exhaust! Swapped back to clockwise and all was fine!

Video, please! Hehehe

Being that production line vehicles have not come with a distributor for over 20-years being able to properly install a distributor is becoming a lost art.

just wait until the outer ring of the damper spins about 15 degrees... will question everything you thought you knew

Or just get damper and timing tabs from different setups. Timing tape, FTW.
