First time poster... with a couple of questions.

Just so you don't get confused by the prior post -- it is an offset "tang" that fits into a slot on the front of the camshaft. The tang is offset - so make sure you're not 180 degrees off and try to force the bolts in. Many a newbie has done this and cracked the distributor housing.

Not trying to step on TJ's shoes - he is mentioning a very important aspect of our 32 - 48 Ford Flatheads!
