SR distributor clocking ?
Repost: wrongly posted in parts for sale first time.
SR guys: Can you install the distributor "straight" or must it be clocked 1 tooth in the advance direction in order permit 6 degrees of base timing?
Just dropped it in and have tried both ways, checking visually.
Currently, I have it clocked 1 tooth advanced, this seems to permit a fair amount of adjustment in both directions. With it in straight, the connector block is gonna be very close to the driver's side rear of the plenum, which will limit the adjustment range in the retard direction.
Of couse it looks better in straight.
Any thoughts from others that have done it?

The base is no problem. The question relates more to the hei cap connector block which protrudes from the cylindrical cap, which contains the batt, ground, coil, tach connections, etc

I crap. I just realized it was a intake manifold which was running interference with the base of my distributor. Not the plenum.....duh
