Just to clarify....I was trying to figure out how the 235's up to 1956 had a distributor that rotated clockwise and according to my resource, the 1957-60 rotated counterclockwise. The source was:
http://www.secondchancegarage.com/public/department35.cfm Several folks pointed out that the rotation of ALL 235's was clockwise. I mistakenly indicated that the advance unit on my 1960 distributor was on the right side. It wasn't, couldn't be...my mistake!!! When I say "left" I have my advance unit diaphragm vacuum inlet, aimed 90 degrees to the block....pointing directly at the pass. fender. In the same configuration as your picture, just rotated 90 degrees clockwise. The info from 2nd Chance had me wondering, as I am getting my 1960 engine back from a complete rebuild and didn't want to foul up a new cam/distributor gear with a new HEI distributor that wasn't correct for the vehicle.
I really appreciate the correct info and had no intention of causing additional concerns. Guess it just shows that you can't take as gospel, everything you read!!!! Thanks for the help!
