What hole?

In my post? (if that’s printable!!🙄)
There’s a hole in the plate under one of the springs, on the Hitachi one.

This^ is confusing. There is no hole on the Hitachi one that matters for alignment. Have a look at the pic below.
The one on the left is made by TEC, and the one on the right is by Hitachi. In this pic, on the TEC unit, the points cam is reassembled incorrectly by a 180o. Notice the dimple on the edge of the cam at about 10 o'clock; it should line up with the hole in the base next to the TEC logo. The one on the right is the Hitachi one and on that one the cam is reassembled correctly as the dimple is facing the Hitachi logo.

The hole on my Hitachi -2 one is under the spring the screwdriver is pointing at. Yes the notch is close to the Hitachi symbol. I only refer to the hole on the other side for relating to the notch on the cam not for ignition timing.
Yes the Tec works the opposite so the notch is close to the hole in the plate.
