REMOVING THE DISTRIBUTOR
1. Remove the existing distributor cap without disconnecting any
of the spark plug wires.
2. With the cap off, rotate the engine or until the rotor is aimed at a
fixed point on the engine or firewall. Note this position by making
a mark (Figure 1).
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. Loosen the distributor hold-down clamp and slide the clamp
out of the way.
5. Lift the distributor out of the engine. Note that the rotor rotates
as you lift the distributor out. This is due to the helical cut gear
and should be taken into consideration when installing a new
distributor.
