Additional Notes
• Before removing the distributor, make sure that the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. This will help to ensure that the distributor is installed correctly.
• If you are replacing the distributor, you will also need to transfer the ignition timing plate from the old distributor to the new distributor.
• If you are unsure about how to install the distributor, consult a qualified mechanic.
