    Petronix Question Non-window 57 Distributor

    The plate that the electronic module bolts to fits perfectly into the distributor. However the directions say to flip it over for counterclockwise applications. I can't figure out how to flip it and make it fit. All the posts I've read say that these things go in easy. What am I missing?

    Thanks in advance.

    Tom,

    I have two Pertronix II's on my Corvettes but don't know the answer - sorry.
    However, I am writing to suggest speaking with their technical folks. I had a question before on something else and they were very helpful - Good customer service.

      Tom -

      All Chevrolet V-8 distributor shafts rotate clockwise; why do you want to flip it over?

        I had it backwards yesterday, the plate fits for the counter clockwise application and I need to flip it to clockwise.
