Re: 63 340HP Distributor Orientation
I think everyone missed Norm's statement " the distributor will only go in one of two ways because of indexing to oil pump drive"
Norm when you pulled the distributor the drive shaft moved and now you need to move it where ever you need to, to get the vacuum can to where you need it.
The motor is "disturbed" now so use the steps in your manual to reinstall it where you want it. You should be able to get the vac away from your coil no matter what type of trigger you have.

Norm, if you didn't move the motor and you carefully marked the rotor position before you pulled the distributor up, you can use the undisturbed method but you need to move the oil pump drive to where it will engage with the rotor and VAC where you want it. that would be away from the coil brkt but still fit in the cutout in the ign, shield
