IGNITION DISTRIBUTORS • Mark the position of the rotor prior to removal of the distributor. This will aid in installing the replacement unit into the proper position. • Install the replacement distributor so the rotor points in the same place. • Always compare the original distributor to the replacement unit. Pay special attention to the area below the flange. Check all dimensions! • Lubricate the o-ring before inserting the distributor into the engine to prevent it from tearing. • Use caution when plugging in the electrical connectors to prevent bent pins. • Do not force the distributor into the engine or use a bolt to pull it into the block! Damage to the distributor and/or engine may occur. • Inspect all components (spark plugs, wires, etc) in the ignition system for wear and/or corrosion. Replace as necessary.
