Trouble Installing Dizzy
#15
that is correct. the distributor really and truly does not know where #1 is...
the only clue is where you put that hv wire. (and order) starting point, direction and order.
and where you planted the distributor to get that.
only those to factors, count , but the distrib inside is the same for all cylinders the CMP is symmetrical.

The base only mounts 1 way, abet the slot can be off, 1 tooth.. (planted wrong)
what matters is the gear.
we can plant the gear to have the rotor land any any of the 4 rotor cap terminals (or be way off)
and will run on any of the 4, confusing for sure.
on some other engines, there is no gear, and is and offset drive, shaft,
the suzuki is 13tooth drive. and can be off 12 ways. oops.


i can see your engine, its 16valve.s but what ah if i go back its a 92
so why not timing like the book.
timing by the book means when reading the book in other chapters and it says, #1 fires here, for the next steps(like setting valve lash) the user does not get confused.
I can also time it off #4 but lets not go there..... trouble stacked on trouble..... that is... can do but .. nah.

1,3,4,2,
this line above means you are starting at #1 to begin the timing steps.
#1 (valves lash loose #1 is just that) no other.s not #4 loose at TDC.
the slot bolt to left is ok, if timing is at spec, is it? ever time it with the freeze jumper planted.

this is the factory way. its clear?

i can also plant the distributor to any HV cap tower lug, (not off or between them, dead on aligned) to any of the 4 towers (cap nipples = tower)
see? it runs perfectly like that.
i also attempt to get the slot there centered as i drop the distributor, it wont be perfect , having the crank is 5deg BTDC helps. some are 8 BTDC, hood sticker tells you this.
so to do this the factory way
the rotor is a 1pm. 12 is center of the SLOT.
repeat over and over to get the the gear to land there. and must align with the cap terminal #1 all at once.
then put wire 1 to 1cap and ccw, 3,4, and last #2 1,3,4,2.
tighten the clamp
start engine
use timing light with freeze planted and set timing to hood spec. (sticker under hood has this) advanced it is.
