INSTALLATION
1. Fill the grooves in the weight
pivot pins with distributor cam
lubricant
(MIC66-A).
2. Position the weights in the dis-
tributor (the marked weight is
placed on the marked pivot pin)
and install the weight retainers.
3. Place the thrust washer on the
shaft.
4. Fill the grooves in the upper
portion of the distributor shaft with
distributor cam
lubricant
(MIC66-A).
5. Install the cam assembly. Be
sure that the marked spring
bracket on
the cam assembly is
near the
marked
spring bracket
on the
stop
plate.
If a new cam is being installed,
make sure that the cam is installed
with the hypalon covered stop
in
the
correct cam plate control slot. This
can be done by measuring the length
of the slot used on the old cam and
by using the corresponding
slot
on
the new cam. Some of the cams will
have the size of the slot in degrees
stamped near the slot. H the wrong
slot is used, an
incorrect
maxi-
mum advance will be obtained.
Place a light film of distributor
cam lubricant on the distributor cam
lobes. Install the retainer and the
wick. Saturate the wick with SAE
lOW engine oil.
6. Install the weight springs. Be
sure that the marked spring is
attached
to the marked spring
brackets.
7. Install the sub-plate assembly.
8. Working from the inside of the
distributor, push the primary wire
through the opening in the dis-
tributor.
9. Install the rotor and the dis-
tributor cap.
