(9n Distributor plate

[Bilhar]

Can someone show me the right way to install the Spring clip that holds down the Distributor plate on a 9n. I have seen several methods but none is real clear as to where the top spring clip hooks on.

the open part of the clip goes between 7 & 9 o'clock on the plate. That puts the straight part of the clip opposite of the timing screw at 3 o'clock



I'll see if I can find a picture around here.

It appears that the Spring goes under the Plate at about 2 O'Clock, crosses over and hooks on at about 9 OClock. is that correct

Didn't the image open?

The clip does NOT go under the plate. It rests in a groove in the housing ABOVE the plate. As I said above, the open part of the clip goes between 7 & 9 o'clock on the plate. That puts the straight part of the clip opposite of the timing screw at 3 o'clock
