Trevor,

Comparing your photo and this photo I agree:

The power connection on your dizzy is rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise as compared to the dizzy above.

However, if the plug wires are connected to the correct plug as per the maintenance manual I don't think it makes a difference?

Thanks James

just to correct a few things i had a better look today and it appears that i am only 90 degrees out
my setup has no vacuum advance as it is running EFI with electronic spark control
i have no knowledge of efi or these hei distributors so i am trying to find out how this all fits together
here is a link to a photo http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/uploads/42104/20180120_140014.jpg
as this was running correctly previously i do not want to touch it but i would like to be able to understand why it is set up this way i assume by your response below that this dist was installed incorrectly and rather than remove and reinstall the wires were just relocated and therefore the cap numbers do not match the plug numbers
