Cmp & distributor rotor positioning on re-assembly? 850

Post by SinusoidalTendencies »

I'm towards the end of a head gasket replacement on a 97 850 glt, and i've taken so long to do it that i don't remember how to position my distributor rotor and cam position sensor rotor on the back of my cams. haven't had any luck searching for assembly info online that will tell me what orientation they should be in at top dead center.

Only two choices really.

And only 2 days left to finish before the unthinkable.......go team go
