Thomas,

Fool proof does not mean -- a rotor cannot be installed out of index - it'll slide right in there - however, (BIG HOWEVER), you will not be able to rotate the e shaft - the rotor will jam against the housing.  So to find out if you've indexed it correctly just try turning the e shaft.
 
I found that if you take either of the three flat surfaces of the rotor and place it perpendicular to the orientation of the spark plugs - in other words, the flat surface centered between the two plugs - that will generally index it.

Well that removes a degree of anxiety! Fool Proof is good.

I had to create a new gMail account in order to post. It seems that anything coming through the east coast Cox.Net server is "blacklisted".

Anyone else having this issue?
(of course ..... if you are, you can't respond!)

The crank should need nothing but a good cleaning.
