Teeners,
I took the engine apart to clean it, will add more about that within the rebuild thread I started - however - I removed the distro without noting the rotor position, can someone advise as to how to re-install the distro if I did NOT mark the position of the rotor. Sigh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  UGH! |

There's nothing wrong with what's been said so far. But, as additional info, especially
with the engine out of the car, you can just loosely place the distributor cap on and make sure it's seated in the groove, then the rotor should be directly under the connector you're using for plug #1 (when at #1 TDC determined earlier.) Also, your paper talks about setting the dwell after roughly getting a 0.4mm points gap. If you are using the stock CD, then setting the dwell is basically meaningless. If you are not using the CD, I have an old dwell meter you can use. Mark S. |
