The distributor was clocked with the vacuum advance on the passenger side of the engine (like a Chevy). I know that isn’t how Pontiac built the engine originally. I prefer it clocked like a Chevy. Seems to be easier to adjust distributor, connect-disconnect vacuum hose for timing, and is in a convenient position for my HEI wiring connector. Outside of not being visually correct (factory), does it matter how the distributor is clocked? Having the larger HEI distributor-cap, it would bury the vacuum advance deeper behind the intake (brake booster) on the factory side. Thoughts??
