Distributor Overhaul: Reassembly

  1. Place stator assembly over bushing, and press down to seat. Place stator connector in position. Tab should fit in notch of base, and fastening eyelets should align with screw holes. Position wires away from moving parts. Install and tighten stator screws.
  2. On models with distributor mounted ICM, install octane rod through distributor base hole. Place end of rod onto same post as original stator. Install and tighten octane rod screw. On all models, lubricate distributor shaft, with light oil. DO NOT over lubricate.
  3. Install shaft through base bushing. Place a 1/2" deep well socket over shaft, invert assembly and place in arbor press. Place thrust washer (if equipped) and distributor drive gear on shaft. Align marks made during removal.
  4. Place a 5/8" deep well socket over shaft and gear. Press gear until holes align with holes in shaft. If holes do not line up, press gear off and try again. DO NOT try to align holes using a drift or roll pin. Insert new roll pin through gear and shaft.
  5. If armature has been removed, install armature. Tighten screws. Check distributor for freedom of rotation. If armature contacts stator, replace distributor. On models with distributor mounted ICM, clean back of module and distributor contact plate.
  6. Apply Silicone Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A) to back of module, and spread evenly. Invert distributor base so stator connector is in full view. Insert module.
  7. Ensure module pins are inserted into stator connector. Fully seat module into connector and against base. Install and tighten module screws.
