Distributor Replacement: Installation

NOTE: Before you install the distributor, bring the No. 1 piston to compression stroke TDC.
  1. Coat a new O-ring with engine oil, then install it.
  2. Slip the distributor into position.
    NOTE: The lug on the end of the distributor and its mating grooves in the camshaft end are both offset to eliminate the possibility of installing the distributor 180° out of time.
  3. Install the mounting bolts, and tighten them lightly.
  4. Connect the ignition wires to the distributor ignition (DI) cap as shown.
