REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the primary wire at
the coil and remove the distributor
cap.
2. Disconnect the vacuum line at
the distributor.
3. Scribe a mark on the distributor
body, indicating the position of the
rotor, and scribe another mark on the
body and engine block, indicating the
position of the body in the block.
These lines will be used as guides
when installing the distributor in the
correctly timed engine.
4. Remove the retaining bolt and
lock washer and lift the distributor
out of the block.
Do not rotate the
cn~~kshaft
wblle
the distributor
Is
removed, or It wiD
be necessary to dme the engine.
INSTALLATION
1. If the crankshaft has not been
rotated while the distributor was re-
moved, position the distributor in the
block with the rotor aligned with the
mark previously scribed on the dis-
tributor body.
Install the distributor retaining
screw.
2. If the crankshaft has been ro-
tated while the distributor was re-
moved, rotate the crankshaft until
the No. 1 piston is on TDC after the

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS
To perform the operations in this
section, it will be necessary to remove
the distributor from the engine and
place it in a vice.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Whileholdingthedistributorcap
(15) in place unfasten the spring clips
(18) then remove the cap.
2. Carefully remove the rotor (17)
from the cam spindle.
3. Remove the contact breaker
cable from the primary terminal flat
pin connector.
4. Remove screw and washers (2)
and lift out the contact set.
5. Remove screw and washer as-
semblies (22) and lift out the con-
denser and primary terminal block.
6. Remove spring clip (23) and
remove the vacuum control unit.
7. Remove screws and washers (4)
and lift out the contact breaker plate.
8. Remove the drive gear securing
roll pin (20) and remove tlu: drive
gear (21). On 8 cylinder distributors
remove the roll pin and drive shaft
collar.
9. Extract the distributor shaft
(13) from the housing (19) by apply-
ing light pressure at the drive gear
end.
10. Mark the advance weights,
springs and cam posts to ensure cor-
rect reassembly. If required remove
the springs (9 and 10).
11. To remove circlip (6) and cam

new breaker points.
A scope or dwell meter can
be
used
to check the gap of used points. Due
to the roughness of used points, it is
not advisable to use a feeler gauge to
check the gap.
Adjustment of the cam angle or
contact gap is made by loosening the
contact plate securing screw and in-
serting the blade of a screwdriver
be-
tween the two dowel pins on the base
plate and the slot in the contact plate.
Turn screwdriver clockwise to de-
crease cam angle and anti-clockwise
to increase cam
angle.
compression stroke. Position the dis-
tributor in the block with the rotor at
the No. l firing position. Make sure
the oU pump Intermediate drlve shaft
Is
properly seated in the oU pump.
Install, but do not tighten, the dis-
tributor retaining bolt. Rotate the
distributor body clockwise until the
breaker points are just starting to
open. Tighten the retaining bolt.
3. Connect the distributor primary
wire and install the distributor cap.
4. Start the engine and adjust the
ignition timing to specifications with
a timing light. Connect the distribu-
tor vacuum line, and check the ad-
vance with the timing light when the
eng;.1e is accelerated.
(8) from shaft (13) place the shaft
upright in a soft jaw vice so that the
vice jaws support the driving plate.
Lever the cam and circlip off the
drive shaft with two screw-drivers
inserted between the cam and driving
plate.
NOTE: Do not remove the lubri-
cation felt (5) from the cam prior to
operation 11 as it will prevent the
circlip (6) from springing out and
becoming lost.
12. Remove the centrifugal ad-
vance weights (11) and fibre washers.
13. Remove lubrication felt (5),
circlip (6) and washer (7) from the
distributor cam.
