Distributor
The distributor is a conventional type consisting of a cap, rotor, breaker points and condenser; therefore, it
requires adjustment.
Ignition Timing
1. Attach a timing light to the #1 spark plug and mark the front crankshaft timing groove and the timing mark
on the scale embossed on the engine's front cover.
2. Start the engine and warm it up to its normal operating temperature.
3. Using the timing light, align the timing groove in the front crankshaft pulley with the proper timing mark
on the ignition timing scale embossed on the engine's front cover. Do this by loosening and slowly rotat-
ing the distributor body.
