Now that sounds like a possibility... I didn't think it was possible.
What you are saying is that possibly both the pickup and the rotor would
be 180? If only one, that would not fit with the timing light right?
If I'm looking from the driver side, the black plastic connector should
be on the lower left side, and at TDC, the rotor at #4?
