Just so you don't think the person that brought up the square hole was being cute.
Square hole in distributor matches a square peg on the rotor so the rotor is not installed 180 out.

Thanks. That is similar to what I saw when I took my rotor off to check the alignment. But on my car (Oh, its an 82 since my Larry82 name is cryptic) there is not a square hole, but a slot that a tang aligns into. Just did not make the connection in the referenced brief post. BTW for those thinking I know nothing, I have ported my manifold, fabricated an permanent fuel pressure guage on the front tbi (was told it can't be done), replaced most every functioning part from front of car to rear - headlight vacuum actuators to rear wheel bearings.
