[AT] CAT magneto

[Gene Dotson]

    John;
    The degree orientation would have to be different depending on rotation 
as the points will be opening at the opposite side of the cam. The 
difference would not be apparent by just looking at it. The difference will 
be between the distributor contact and the flat locating it on the shaft.
