F.A.S.T (formerly Edlebrock) XR-700 Install Question

dlearl476

Hey all, has anyone out there in clown car land ever installed one of these? I'm having some trouble installing the shutter wheel in my 009.

After breaking the first one because the ID was too small for the Bosch shaft, they sent me a couple of replacements. Very carefully working with a small rat-tail file, I've managed to open one up to where the shutter wheel fits snugly on the shaft, but all the slots in the wheel are about 15°-20° off from where the lobes on the distributor shaft sit.

There is quite a bit of adjustment on the bracket that holds the optical pick up, but this just seems wrong to me. It seems the slots should line up with the cam lobes, so the distributor sits close to where a normal points/condenser distributor sits.

Am I overthinking this? Do I just need to install it as is and let the cards fall where they may when I replace my standard distributor?
