That would normally be good advice, but not on a C900 (or a 9k for that matter). I know you don't know newer saabs - so it's a fair assumption. But in case you're interested - on C900s and pre DI 9ks, the dissy is driven directly off the end of one of the camshafts. It mates with the camshaft with a pair of offset dogs (two little teeth, slightly offset from the diameter of the shaft). So there's only one way it can go on. -- Grunff
