Removal (Later Design)

  1. Remove distributor cap and rotor. Rotate crankshaft to correct timing mark.
    NOTE: The EEC distributor is locked into place during assembly so that no rotation adjustment is possible. A slot in distributor base mounting flange closely fits around distributor clamp hold-down bolt, preventing movement. Adjustment is never required or permitted, because all timing control is handled by ECA and rotor alignment is critical. If distributor replacement is required, this procedure should be followed.
  2. The alignment slot in sleeve assembly should be lined up with slot in adapter. Remove distributor hold-down bolt and clamp.
  3. Slowly remove distributor assembly from engine. Note position of large slot in sleeve with respect to adapter alignment slot when cam and distributor gear disengage.
    CAUTION: DO NOT rotate crankshaft after distributor has been removed.
