Hey guys,

actually I have a problem installing the distributor on my cosworth engine.

When I first installed it like it is told in the Cosworth manual, I wasn't able to start the engine.
I tried to fire it up and when the engine stops, it turned for a second in the wrong direction.

This is usually a sign that there is a problem with the ignition.

So I tried to turn the distributor clockwise and it went better and better.

But in my opinion, there is something wrong.

I took some pics of my installation:

Crank wheel/ 1. cylinder is TDC


Cam wheels are pointing together


firing order is clockwise 1-3-4-2


As you can see, the rotor doesn't align with the marking on the housing...
BUT... the idle speed is good and also the acceleration...


I am running a P8 Ecu with a program which i don't know and yellow Bosch injectors.
I guess the engine has about 280 hp...

What is your opinion? Please help...

Thanx allot...

Sneer
