Distributor installed 180 out? '58 370
Will the distributor actually go into place 180 degrees out?

Or you could just move the wires a half turn counter clockwise. Chevy guys would probably move the wires a half turn clockwise instead.

Yes it will, and if the engine fires it will blow your muffler. Ask me how I know.

That didn't go unnoticed, Bill...
And if it still didn't start would they say that the fuel pump's not on the right side?

Maybe lots of people noticed Jack, and only you and I think it's funny.

Not only have I seen someone do that (Chevy guy working on a Pontiac) but I've also saw one put all the rods on the crank journals with the chamfer to the inside instead of the outside of the jounal. Because they started the first rod/piston assembly in the no.1hole, which puts it to the back of the journal thinking it was a Chevy. He found out fast when the bearings all heated up and wiped out. It also squeeked--just a little---. Mark L

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
