INSTALLATION

Timing Not Disturbed

1. Position a new distributor housing O-ring.
2. Install the distributor in the engine so the rotor is aligned with the matchmark on the housing and the housing is aligned with the matchmark on the engine. Be sure the distributor is fully seated and the distributor shaft is fully engaged.
3. Install or connect the following:
   • Retaining nut finger-tight only. Connect the vacuum hose(s), if removed.
   • Distributor pick-up electrical harness
   • Distributor cap and secure
   • Negative battery cable
4. Check and adjust the ignition timing. Torque the retaining nut to 115 ft. lbs. (13 Nm).

Timing Disturbed

1. Install a new distributor housing O-ring
2. Rotate the engine so No. 1 piston is on TDC of compression stroke and the timing mark on the vibration damper is aligned with T on the timing indicator.
3. Position the distributor so the rotor is aligned with the No. 1 ignition wire on the distributor cap. Take note that the distributor shaft is fully engaged and the housing is fully seated.

   NOTE: Some distributor caps may contain runners inside the cap. If so, be sure the rotor is pointing to where the No. 1 runner originates inside the cap and not where the No. 1 ignition wire plugs into the cap.

4. Install or connect the following:
   • Retaining nut finger-tight only. Connect the vacuum hose(s), if removed.
   • Distributor electrical harness
   • Distributor cap and secure
   • Negative battery cable
5. Check and adjust the ignition timing. Torque the retaining nut to 115 ft. lbs. (13 Nm).
