About 7-8 yr's ago I built a hot flathead for a guy that built a real nice 50's stlye street rod, Model a coupe, chopped channeld, ect. Anyways, he had it all ready to start and wanted me to be there, so I went and oil presured it and told him to hit the starter, it went pop pop up the carb, I said wooo, you've got the plug wires crossed. I checked them and thay were all right. I puffed it up on compression on no. one and checked the rotor on the mallory, it was pointing to no. 6 I said well it's almost impossable to put the crab on wrong without breaking it. I removed the dist and it was in the slot right. I said well, this dist is put together 180* off, so I said we cain't hurt a rotton apple so I removed the electronic plate, ( cain't remember exactaly how it's made but I think unhooked the springs and pull the cam up and turned it 180* and put it back together. Put the dist back on and she fired and run like a top. I told him to call Patrick where he bought it and tell him the story. To my surprise Patrick told him that factory had put 5 dist out that way and they had got 3 back and this was the 4th one and there was still one out there someplace. Your's may be that 5th. one.
