the drive gear slips through the distributor opening in the block. there are two kind, pinned and shrink fit. if you have the gear off the shaft to the oil pump the flat side goes down and the end with the slotted end is facing up so you can adjust distributor timing at the spark plug. hope this helps.

Which direction do you set a distributor drive gear in a mopar 440?

In a mopar 440 the distributor drive gear notch is set inline with the crankshaft, but it's just a reccomended starting point as long as you have enough space to turn the distributor in either direction to adjust timing when installed.

On a 1995 Dodge Van 318 V8 the engine cranks fine but there is no spark to the distributor could this be a SMEC problem?

The distributor induction coil may not be sending a signal to trigger the spark. Wiggle that pigtail wire coming out of the distributor boy and see if the engine will start. If it does, then install a new induction coil. The wires coming out of the distributor body sometimes develop breaks. If the dealer doesn't have the coil, then you can use a substitute Mopar part from NAPA, however, the Mopar part doesn't fit as tight into the distributor body as the original part. Plan to pay about $50 for the part. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Save the screws from the original part. If I remember correctly, the replacement screws with the Mopar part are bit short.
