2. No periodic lubrication is required. Engine oil
lubricates the lower bushing and an oil-filled reservoir
provides lubrication for the upper bushing.
3.
The tachometer (TACH) terminal is next to the
ignition switch (BAT) connector on the distributor cap.
C A UTI 0 N : The tachometer terminal must
NEVER be allowed to touch ground, as damage
to the module and/or ignition cod can result.
NOTE: Some service tachometers and electronic
diagnostic equipment currently in use may NOT be
compatible with the High Energy Ignition System. It is
recommended that you consult your representative of
such equipment as to the necessary updating of your
equipment for compatibility with the HE1 System.
4. There is no dwell adjustment as this is controlled by
the module.
5. The centrifugal advance, and vacuum advance are
similar to the conventional ignition.
6. The material used to construct the spark plug cables
is very pliable and soft. This cable will withstand more heat
and carry a higher voltage. Due to the more pliable cable,
scuffing and cutting become easier. It is therefore extremely
important that the spark plug cables be routed correctly to
prevent chaffing or cutting. See Spark Plug Section of On-Car
Service. Also when removing a spark plug wire from a spark
plug, twist the boot on the spark plug and pull on the boot
to remove the wire.
REMOVE AND REPLACE
Distributor
1.Disconnect ignition switch battery feed wire from
distributor cap. (DO NOT use a screwdriver or tool to release
the locking tab.)
2. Remove distributor cap by turning four latches
counterclockwise.
NOTE: If necessary to remove secondary wires from
cap, release wiring harness latches and remove wiring
harness retainer. The spark plug wire numbers are
indicated on the retainer.
3. Remove vacuum hose from vacuum advance unit.
4. Remove distributor clamp screw and hold-down
clamp.
5. Note position of rotor, then pull distributor up until
rotor just stops turning counterclockwise and again note
position of rotor.
NOTE: To insure correct timing of the distributor, the
distributor must be INSTALLED with the rotor
correctly positioned as noted in Step 5.
If the engine was accidentally cranked after the
distributor was removed, the following procedure can be used
for installing:
a. Remove No. 1 spark plug.
b. Place finger over No.
1
spark plug hole and crank
engine slowly until compression is felt.
c. Align timing mark on pulley to
"0"
on engine timing
indicator.
d. Turn rotor to point between No.
1
and No. 8 spark
plug towers on distributor cap.
e. Install distributor and connect ignition feed wire.
f. Install distributor cap and spark plug wires.
g. Check engine timing.
Module (Refer to Fig. 6D-42)
It is not necessary to remove the distributor from car.
REMOVAL
1. Remove distributor cap and rotor.
2. Disconnect two pick-up leads from module. (Observe
color code on leads as these cannot be interchanged.)
3. Remove two module attaching screws.
4. Remove module from distributor base and remove two
wire connectors.
NOTE: Do not wipe grease from module or distributor
base if same module is to be replaced. If a new module
is to be installed, a package of silicone lubricant will be
included with it. Spread the lubricant on the metal face
of the module and on the distributor base where the
module seats. This lubricant is important as it aids heat
transfer for module cooling.
INSTALLATION
To install, reverse removal procedure.
Pick-Up Coil (Refer to Fig. 6D-42)
REMOVAL
1. Remove distributor from car. Mark distributor shaft
and gear so that they may be reassembled in the same position
(see Distributor Removal above).
2. Drive out the roll pin and remove gear.
3. Remove distributor cap.
4. Remove distributor shaft with rotor and advance
weights.
5. Remove the thin "C" washer on top of pick-up coil
assembly, remove pick-up coil leads from module, and
remove the pick-up coil assembly. (Do not remove the three
screws.)
INSTALLATION
To install reverse removal procedure noting alignment
marks when installing gear.
Rotor (Refer to Fig. 6D-32)
The rotor is retained by two screws and is provided with
a slot which fits over a square lug on the advance weight base,
so that the rotor can be installed in only one position.
Vacuum Advance Unit (Refer to Fig. 6D-42)
REMOVAL
1. Remove distributor cap and rotor.
2. Remove module.
3. Remove two vacuum advance attaching screws.
4. Turn the pick-up coil clockwise and push the rod end
of the vacuum advance down so that it will disengage and
clear the pick-up coil plate.
