iMPOrTanT: There are two different length screws supplied with this rotor. It is important to determine 

which screws are correct for your application due to clearance of the magnetic pickup. 

Remove the cap, rotor and the cap spacer and note the rotor screw retainer that is installed on the 

bottom of the advance plate (Figure 1). There are two styles used; one is a Screw Retainer, the other 

is a Retainer with a Nut. The Retainer accepts the shorter 5/8” screw while the Nut version accepts 

the ¾” screw. 

Once  the  rotor  screw  length  is  determined,  install  the  rotor  being 

sure the round and square aligning pegs are lined up correctly. Install 

the Belleville washers with the 

dome facing up on the screws and 

tighten the rotor (Figure 2). Install the cap and plug wires.

clearance before reassembling the distributor.
