INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Figure 12 Marking the Rotor Location.

INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR

1. Remove the existing distributor cap

without disconnecting any of the spark

plug wires.

2. With the cap off, crank the engine until

the rotor is aimed at a fixed point on the

engine. Note this position by making a

mark (Figure 12).

3. Place the distributor cap back on and

note which plug wire the rotor is pointing

to. MARK THE SPARK PLUG WIRES and

remove the distributor cap.

4. Disconnect the wiring from the distributor.

5. Loosen the distributor hold-down clamp,

slide the clamp out of the way and lift the

distributor out of the engine.

6. Install the supplied O-ring seal in the

groove on the distributor land. Apply a

thin layer of oil to the housing O-ring.

7. Apply a liberal amount of the supplied

break-in lubricant to the gear.

8. Install the distributor making sure that the rotor comes to rest pointing at the fixed mark. If the

distributor will not fully seat with the rotor pointing to the marked position, you may need to

rotate the oil pump shaft until the rotor lines up and the distributor fully seats.

9. Position and tighten the hold-down clamp onto the distributor.

10. Install the rotor and distributor cap. It is recommended to use a drop of Blue Loctite on the distributor

cap hold down bolts.

11. Install the spark plug wires from the old cap one at a time to ensure correct location.

12. Connect the supplied wiring harness to the distributor. Route the wires to their connections as

shown in Figure 12.
