Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

Howdy!

Any idea how to tell which direction the distributor spins (1940 series 72) when it is not in the car?  The distributor was rebuilt and I am putting a petronix electronic ignition in it prior to reinstalling it.  Now I need to know which direction it turns.

Thanks!

Joe, It should turn clockwise as you look down on it. Some are marked with a rotation arrow under the rotor. Harry

That's what I thought. Good to be sure.

Thanks Harry!
