Installation (Early Design)

  1. Position distributor in engine and insure that slot on distributor base hold-down flange is aligned with clamp bolt hole in block and slot in upper blade of rotor is about aligned with slot in adapter.
  2. If alignment is not possible, raise distributor and rotate distributor shaft slightly to allow next tooth on distributor drive gear to engage cam gear. Install clamp and bolt.
  3. Align rotor and install distributor cap.
