Installation (Later Design)

  1. Coat upper and lower electrode blades of rotor and also 4 arms of distributor cap's brass center plate with silicone grease to a 1/32" thickness.
  2. If alignment is necessary, rotate crankshaft until engine timing pointer is aligned with timing mark on engine damper. Insure that No. 1 piston is on compression stroke and not on exhaust stroke (otherwise distributor rotor would be 180° out of alignment). Loosen 2 sleeve assembly adjustment screws and rotate sleeve until alignment tool (T79P-12200A) fits into alignment slots. Tighten adjustment screws and remove tool.
  3. Align arrow molded into top of rotor with large key way slot in distributor sleeve. Press down on rotor until retaining spring snaps into place.
