Basic question here - just got my '67 Satellite back from the shop where they did an engine swap (from a 318 to a 440). It's not running particularly well - my primary suspicion is the carb tune is way out of whack. But in the process of trying to troubleshoot a few basics I noticed that although the firing order is correct, the starting point of the "1" wire at the distributor is 180 degrees from where it is shown in all of the diagrams I've seen. Now, the engine does run, so I'm wondering if perhaps the shop installed the distributor 180 degrees from "normal", then, installed the wires 180 degrees to match. If that is indeed the case, does it really matter? It would seem to be a wash to me, but since it isn't running great overall I'm trying to rule everything out that I can.
Thanks!
Thanks!
