[V8] Fwd: Passenger side Distributor

[John Bysinger]

I did press the pin out in order to get to the wires to the hall sensor.
 Maybe there's a drawing or picture of it in the family album?

I've basically got a 50/50 chance of getting it right, but pressing that
pin out wasn't an easy task.  It's possible it's pressed in the same
position as the drivers side distributor, which I could check.  I could
also work backwards off of the firing order and setting the engine to TDC.
 I just feel so silly for coming all this way only to be held up by a tiny
little part. :)
