Front Wheel Drive Models: Disassembly

  1. Remove secondary wire, distributor cap hold-down screws and cap. Pull cap straight off distributor to prevent rotor blade or spring damage.
  2. Loosen rotor hold-down screws and remove rotor straight off weight plate to prevent damage to centrifugal advance mechanism.
  3. Disconnect vacuum line from diaphragm assembly. Remove retaining screws and save for later installation. Partially remove diaphragm assembly until it clears distributor housing, and then tilt assembly to disengage rod from stator pivot pin.
    NOTE: If further disassembly is necessary, replace distributor as an assembly.
