Ignition System

Distributor Installation

NOTE: Before you install the distributor, bring the No. 1 piston to compression stroke TDC.

1. Coat a new O-ring with engine oil, then install it.

2. Slip the distributor into position.

NOTE: The lugs on the end of the distributor, and the mating grooves in the camshaft end are both offset to eliminate the possibility of installing the distributor 180° out of time.

3. Install the mounting bolts and tighten them temporarily.

4. Connect the 2-P and 8-P connectors to the distributor.

5. Connect the ignition wires as shown.

6. Set the ignition timing with a timing light (see page 23-A87).

7. After setting the ignition timing, tighten the mounting bolts.
