(2) On the 361, 383 and 426 Cubic Inch Engines,
hold the distributor over the mounting pad on the
cylinder block with the vacuum chamber pointing to-
ward the center of the engine.
(3) Turn the rotor until it points to the approxi-
mate location of the NO. 1 tower terminal in the dis-
tributor cap.
(4) Place the distributor gasket in position.
(5)
Lower the distributor and engage the shaft in
the slot of the distributor drive shaft gear.
(6) Turn the distributor counter-clockwise for 273
and 318 cubic inch engine and clockwise for 361, 383
and 426 cubic inch engine until the breaker contacts
are just separating, and install hold down clamp.
CYLINDER BLOCK
Cleuning and Inspection
(1) With the engine in repair stand C-3167 and the
cylinder heads, oil pan and timing chain removed
clean the cylinder block thoroughly. Inspect all core
plugs for evidence of leaking.
(2) If new core plugs are installed coat the edges of
the plug and core hole with MoPar Sealer and drive
the plugs in place with a suitable driver.
(3) Examine the block for cracks or fractures.
(4) Remove the top ridge of the cylinder bores with
a
reliable ridge reamer before removing the pistons
from the cylinder block. Be sure to keep the tops of
the pistons covered during this operation.
NOTE:
Pistons and connecting rods must
be
re-
moved from the top of the cylinder block. When
removing the piston and connecting rod assemblies
from the engine, rotate crankshaft
so
each connect-
ing rod is centered in the cylinder bore.
(5)
Remove the oil strainer and tube. On 273 and
(6) Mark all bearing caps as necessary for proper
(7) Remove the connecting rod cap.
(8) Install Tool C-3221 on one connecting rod bolt
and protector over the other bolt and push each pis-
ton and rod assembly out of the cylinder bore.
(9) After removal,' install the bearing cap on the
mating rod.
location.
Cylinder Bore Inspection
The cylinder walls should be measured for out-of-
round and taper with Tool C-119. If the cylinder
bores show more than .005" out-of-round,
or
a taper of
more than .010"
or
if the cylinder walls are badly
scuffed or scored, the cylinder block should be re-
bored and honed, and new pistons and rings fitted.
Whatever type of boring equipment is used, boring
and honing operation should be closely coordinated
with the fitting of pistons and rings in order that
specified clearances may be maintained.
Honing Cylinder Bores
Before honing, stuff plenty of clean rags under the
bores, over the crankshaft to keep the abrasive ma-
terials from entering the crankcase area.
(1) Use carefully, the cylinder bore resizing hone
Tool C-823, equipped with 220 grit stones, is the
best tool for this job. In addition to deglazing, it will
reduce taper and out-of-round
as
well as removing
light scuffing, scoring
or
scratches. Uusually a few
strokes will clean up a bore and maintain the required
limits.
