WARNING: Before installing the Distributor, disconnect the battery cables. When disconnect-

ing the battery cables, always remove the Negative (-) cable ﬁrst and install it last.

1. Remove the existing distributor cap without disconnecting any

of the spark plug wires.

2. With the cap off, crank the engine until the rotor is aimed at a

ﬁxed point on the engine or ﬁrewall. Note this position by making

a mark (Figure 1).

3. Place the distributor cap back on and note which plug wire the

rotor is pointing to. MARK THE SPARK PLUG WIRES and remove

the distributor cap.

4. Disconnect the wiring from the distributor.

5. Loosen the distributor hold down clamp and slide the clamp out

of the way.

6. Lift the distributor out of the engine. Note that the rotor rotates

as you lift the distributor out. This is due to the helical cut gear

and should be taken into consideration when installing the new

distributor.

7. Install the gasket and apply a liberal amount of

the supplied lubricant to the distributor gear.

8. Install the distributor making sure that the rotor

comes to rest pointing at the same ﬁxed mark.

If the distributor will not fully seat with the rotor

pointing to the marked position, you may need

to rotate the oil pump shaft until the rotor lines up

and the distributor fully seats.

9. Position and tighten the hold down clamp onto

the distributor.

10. Install the distributor cap and spark plug wires one

at a time to ensure correct location.

11. Connect a switched 14-gauge wire from a 12 volt

source to the B+ terminal of the Distributor Cap

(Figure 2). (Be sure the 3-pin connector from the

module is connected to the cap).

12. To connect a tachometer, plug the trigger wire of

the tach to the "tach" terminal of the cap.
