[T2] Svda distributor

[Jim Denton]

You need to make sure you are getting a consistent spark. Check both at the
distributor and at the plugs.  If you pulled out an 009 you may end up with
the timing being off by 90* on the distributor when you install a SVDA, so
make sure you have correctly identified the #1 plug wire.
