Installing Distributor

Rotate eccentric shaft until yellow mark (leading timing mark) on pulley aligns with indicator pin on front cover. Align notch on distributor housing with punch mark on driven gear. Insert distributor so that lock bolt is located in center of its slot; then engage distributor gears. Rotate distributor to the right until contact points close. Then, turn left and stop when contact points just begin to separate. Tighten lock nut and install rotor and cap.
