hello everyone, I have 2 small questions about a distributor i just receieved today 7/16/15. I wanted to upgrade my fathers datsun to electric and so i went ahead and bought an electronic distributor from Advance Auto - Part # 31-621. now here are my questions, where am i suppose to hook up the red and green wires? - Im guessing red goes to coil positive AND Green goes to Coil negative... thats it? 2. do i need anything else (meaning ignition module) Sorry for the very simply questions but i looked and i couldn't find the info. i don't want to burn my distributor by connecting it wrong

AND when moved to number 1 spark plug wire on rotor it comes out to this rotor pointing to #1 I know im doing something wrong... does it matter about aligning the two small points - facing each other .still can't get it right

do you mean set it up like this? I did try it like this but the rotor is pointing to #2

Hi everyone, i first want to say thanks for letting me join your already large datsun family. I just purchased a fairly all original 1976 datsun b210 with an A14 engine that needs an updating all around. As of right now i already started taking the timing chain off the car and cleaned anywhere my hands can reached. i bought a new Timing chain Set and mock installed it but i notice that the marks weren't aligned like it said in the manual. I have the #1 spark plug piston all the way up and rotor pointing to #1 spark plug wire but gears aren't aligned. I also search online and i found that the most important part is to line up the camshaft dowel hole with the keygrove. the points aren't as important but they do mention that its just for a second checking. they also mention something about the pistons opening/closing AND that its doesn't matter if its on #1 TDC or #4 TDC? I hope i didn't confuse everyone but i haven't played with 4 cylinders before just 6 cylinders and Im kinda new to this. any tips or advice on getting the gears to aligned, setting timing correctly and shedding some light on the info i found online - Im all ears . I'll post pictures soon
