Hey all
I tried staring my 68 Valiant the other day only to find it backfiring and coughing. I went through everything I could think of till I found that the distributor gear was missing teeth.
Ive replaced the gear but I need to where the rotor button is supposed to be in relation to the stroke?

Any help would be much appreciated

The rotor should point to about the 4:00 position when the frontmost cylinder is at the top (TDC) of its compression stroke.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

Somewhere I heard that the rotor is supposed to 'point at' the #1 cylinder at TDC. Is that for V-8's? It sounds like with the /6 you want the rotor to 'point away' from #6 cylinder?

Nope.
You want the rotor to point to about 4:00 clock position as you look down at the distributor while you're standing at the RH fender of the vehicle.

The "rotor points to #1" is for small block Mopar V8s.
For the SL6, pointed to the 4:00 position as SSDan noted.

Thanks, you guys are the most.

Thanks all

It depends on how the cap was wired and how the distributor was installed last time. If you point it at 4:00 and the #1 wire is at 12:00, you got prolems.
