I know ... rehash for the millionth time.

Took the old one out, swapped in the new one directly in same position. Car 
ran crappy.

Followed book and turned wheel so that mark in transmission is aligned with 
that in housing, then adjusted distributor so arm pointed to marking in 
distributor housing. No start, grey clouds come out of rubber intake boot .. 
unburnt stuff I guess.

Now, I turn wheel back so that markings in transmission lign up .. and the 
arm in the distributor is pointing the opposite way (before it pointed at 
the marking) - is this possible (duh, yes I can see it is ... but why dit it 
get thrown off by 180)? Does that mean it's corretly in place and I just 
need to turn the distributor 180 so that the markings lign up?

TIA
Tobias
