Default Optispark question

Is there supposed to be a dowel in the cam to line the opti up with or does it just go in there which ever way. I made a mistake and didnt pay attention when I took it apart.

Yes, there's a dowel pin (Or should be) that aligns with a recess on the back of the rotating part of the Opti. It's annoying and tricky to get it aligned, and the oil seal properly engaged, but yes, it needs to be aligned properly for everything to work.

Well I took it apart and it had the dowel pin in there but it wasnt lined up so I am glad I took it apart while the motor was out.
