#### INSTALLATION — CRANKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT ROTATED

1. It is necessary to place the No. 1 cylinder in the firing position to correctly install the distributor. To locate this position, the ignition timing marks on the crankshaft front pulley are used.
2. Remove the No. 1 cylinder spark plug. Turn the crankshaft until the piston in the No. 1 cylinder is UP on the compression stroke. This can be determined by placing your thumb over the spark plug hole and feeling the air being forced out of the cylinder. Stop turning the crankshaft when the timing marks that are used to time the engine are aligned on the front timing cover assembly.
3. Oil the distributor housing lightly where the distributor bears on the cylinder block.
4. Install the distributor so that the rotor, which is mounted on the shaft, points toward the No. 1 spark plug terminal tower position when the cap is installed. Of course you won't be able to see the direction in which the rotor is pointing if the cap is on the distributor. Lay the cap on the top of the distributor and make a mark on the side of the distributor housing just below the No. 1 spark plug terminal. Make sure that the rotor points toward that mark when you install the distributor.
5. When the distributor shaft has reached the bottom of the hole, move the rotor back and forth slightly until the driving lug on the end of the shaft enters the slots cut in the end of the oil pump shaft and the distributor assembly slides down into place.
6. When the distributor is correctly installed, the reluctor teeth should be aligned with the stator assembly. This can be accomplished by rotating the distributor body after it has been installed in the engine. Once again, line up the marks that you made before the distributor was removed.
7. Install the distributor hold-down bolt.
8. Install the spark plug into the No. 1 spark plug hole and continue from Step 3 of the preceding distributor installation procedure.

   If your engine has a distributor with a crankangle sensor set up read the above section and then you will be able to remove and install the distributor assembly.

   Basically, you have to remove the distributor cap, mark or tag all the spark plug wires and the electrical connections then remove them. Next, mark the position of the base of the distributor with relation to the engine mounting location and the rotor position as opposed to the base of the distributor assembly.

   When installing the distributor, line up your marks and gently install the distributor and reconnect all spark wires and electrical connections. If you disturb the engine while the distributor is removed you will have to set initial timing.
