I forgot to look at which way the rotor was pointing when i took it off. I was still only on a half cup of coffee when i took it off so hammerhead on me

Obviously, it can only go on 2 ways, one being right and one being wrong. How can I tell which way to have the rotor face when i re-install it? This is on my jdm h22a, I took the dizzy off because i am not getting spark and I need to possibly replace cap/rotor/ignitor/coil.

 

im lost man. are you talking about the distributor cap or the brake rotor?

 

the distributor. When you take it off of the engine, there is 2 ways it can fit back on. One way the rotor will be pointing towards the correct dist. cap pick up point, and the other way the rotor will be pointing 180 degrees off.

 

Really? I thought that honda distributors have only one way it will fit back on to avoid problems and confusion?

 

I know my vdub beetle has one that only fits on one way. Put it in and turn it, and it should only fit in one way.

 

thanks guys, I was scowering through old posts and one said that the notch on the shaft was slightly offset. I didn't even notice that.

its not too early for a is it?

 

whats a dizzy??? lol

im guessing the rotor???

 

dizzy = distributor

 

Yea, its slightly offset to one side so it will only go back on one way.
