COMP 9000™ DISTRIBUTOR INSTALLATION

NOTE: The Comp 9000™ adjustment is preset at the factory.

1. Prepare new Comp 9000™ distributor by removing the spark

plug wire retainer and distributor cap.

2. Place the Comp 9000™ distributor into the engine. Do not install

clamp at this time. Raise distributor housing enough to turn rotor,

point rotor blade in direction of original rotor.

3. Seat distributor fully into engine.

NOTE. It may be necessary to turn the oil pump drive with a

long screw driver to fully seat the distributor.

4. Install distributor hold-down clamp. Leave clamp loose enough to

rotate distributor for timing purposes.

5. Install Comp 9000™ distributor cap as follows: move spark plug

wires from old cap to new cap one wire at a time, starting with the

number one cylinder, attach wires to matching terminals on new

cap. Do not attach coil lead at this time.

NOTE: It may be necessary to purchase and install spark plug

wire boots and terminal kit, Mallory part number 669.

6. Install the spark plug wire retainer, then attach coil lead.

7. Attach distributor point harness to negative (–) side of coil.

OLD DISTRIBUTOR REMOVAL

1. Disconnect distributor point wire from negative (–) side of coil.

2. Rotate engine until timing mark on crank balancer lines up with

TDC mark on timing tab.

3. Remove cap from original distributor. Rotor blade should point to

number one spark plug wire terminal of cap. If not, rotate engine

one full turn until timing marks line up again.

4. Note position of rotor blade, remove hold-down clamp at distribu-

tor base and remove distributor from engine.

STARTING THE ENGINE

CAUTION: Before starting the engine, be sure all tools, wires

and miscellaneous objects are clear of moving engine parts.

1. Connect a timing light. Find the area with the best view of the

timing marks.

2. Crank the engine. If it fails to start, rotate the distributor in small

increments left or right until engine starts. Do not exceed more

than ten degrees of rotation either way.

3. Set timing as recommended by the engine manufacturer, then

tighten the distributor hold down clamp. Make sure timing is still

correct. If timing has moved, repeat this procedure.
