RSP distributor cap

Post by woodypup59 »

Not quite mk 1 I know but .....

Can someone post a picture of an RSP distributor cap, showing the plug lead positions.

I thought the post for #1 plug would be at about 2 o'clock, but am not sure.
Thanks

It’s possible to fit the distributor drive spindle at many different orientations. Theoretically you could have it out by 180 degrees, but as long as the spark plug leads are on in the right order, line up with the rotor arm and you have sufficient rotation on the distributor to set the timing it should run perfectly fine
