the Haynes manual shows a round distributor tadpole says flat, but in any case a mechanism has got to "distribute" the sparks on time...you have a distributor...if flat...someone's got to tell the WWW~

A fancy right-angle distributor cap...it still has a rotor...open up the cap and look at the order there right in front of you~

thanks david, if a man made it...a man can understand it...a man can take it apart....a woman can put it back together again (or your mexican helper)~

Actually NO, admittedly I err, that isn't connection to the coil but a sensor...notice the donut and connector...it's for the ecu...~
