HOW TO INSTALL THE DISTRIBUTOR

1. If the distributor to be replaced has not already been

removed from the engine, remove its cap. Do not

remove the spark plug wires at this time.

2. Crank the engine slowly until the rotor blade aims at a

fixed point on the engine or firewall. Note this point for

future reference.

3. Unplug all external connectors coming from the

distributor.

4. Now put the existing cap back on and note and mark

which spark plug wire the rotor (blade) is pointing at.

Then number the wires according to cylinder and

remove the wires. If in doubt you can leave the wires

connected to the old cap and transfer them to the new

cap and distributor later in the process (see point # 9).

5. Loosen and remove the distributor hold-down bolt and

clamp. Lift the old distributor out. At this point the rotor

may spin and move from its position. This

is because of the distributor gear.

6. Lower the new distributor into position. The rotor

should be aimed at the same fixed point as was the

rotor from the old distributor. After the new distributor

has been lowered into place, you may find that it

hasn't seated firmly against the intake manifold. This

indicates that the lower end of the distributor shaft is

not properly aligned with the oil pump drive rod. Do not

attempt to force the distributor into position.

7. Reinstall the hold-down clamp and thread the bolt just

enough to exert a very slight pressure against the

distributor. If the distributor was not firmly seated,

manually rotate the engine until the distributor drops

down into place.

8. With the distributor properly seated, tighten the

hold-down bolt just enough so that the distributor is

held in place, but can still be rotated with a little effort.

9. Remove the plug wires one at a time from the old cap

and install them in the corresponding positions of the

new cap. After all wires have been transferred, verify

that the wire in the terminal post that is aligned with the

rotor leads to number one cylinder. If you are unsure of

cylinder number position or firing order, this information

can be found in the service manual that covers your

particular engine. Put on the distributor cap.

10. Reconnect the wiring lead from the distributor to the

ignition switch. At this time you can begin timing.
