Chris,

If I remember correctly the arrow is on the visible side of the wheel when installed and will only fit one way with the alignment holes.

Lynn,

Does it look like I got it right?

Trigger wheel. Reluctor. Sorry about that.

I found a previous posting talking about ways to set TDC, so I rotated the crank to put the counterweight at 9 O'clock and at the same time checked for air blowing out the #1 spark plug hole.

In another post I found a diagram that shows the TDC position on the position sensor plate three teeth after the single flat spot.

You can see both ends of the crank in the two pictures. I think it is correct.
