Which way does the distributor rotor turn in a slant six?

Also, what year did the electronic distributors start?

Thanks,

Jeff

Slant six distributors turn clockwise. Electronic ignition became standard in 73 (I think...)

Thanks! You wouldn't have a photo of what the advance mechanism looks like?

Lots of vacuum pods on eBay to look at.

Hi, welcome on the board. Yep, 1973 was the first year for electronic ignition. First thing, soon as you can, go get the three books described and linked in this thread.

Reed's picture shows the weights and springs for a points distributor, without the 'governor'/limiter... the EI mechanism is similar, but has posts that are slightly adjustable for the advance springs, and you have a long looped primary spring instead of two full wound springs...

FYI, the EI vacc. can is a different beast than the points vacc can in how the armature is positioned.

Thanks a million! (You guys are great. THis is one super forum!)
