Ignition System: Distributor: Installation

  1. If the crankshaft is rotated during distributor removal, rotate the crankshaft until the No. 1 piston is at TDC on the compression stroke. During installation of the distributor, the distributor rotor will tend to shift when the gears mesh. Install the distributor base gasket and distributor. Engage the distributor drive gear into the camshaft sprocket. Ensure that the distributor rotor aligns with the mark made on the engine component during removal.
  2. Install the distributor bolt finger-tight. Install the distributor electrical connector onto the bracket. Connect the distributor harness electrical connector. Connect the distributor ground connector to the tab on the distributor housing. Position the distributor cap, distributor to spark plug wires, and ignition coil to distributor high tension wiring onto the distributor. Tighten the distributor cap screws.
  3. Install the distributor cover. Connect the battery ground cable. Adjust the Ignition Timing. See IGNITION TIMING in ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS article. Tighten the distributor bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
