Dustributor problem. Help please?

the answer should be found in the 1st gen faq's. basically u just bring rotor 1 to TDC, line up the dot on the dizzy gear with the mark cast into the dizzy housing and stick it in.

FerociousP, I see what you did there.

rxtasy3, this helped so much! Thank you! Just in case anyone else has this problem, I took pictures as I did it. Maybe link in FAQ page?

1st Step: Locate the Leading and trailing and leading notches and line the leading notch up with the indicator pin. They may be hard to spot after 20 or 30 years of the engine being used.

2nd Step: Locate the raised dimple in the distributor case.

3rd Step: Locate the notch on the distributor and align it with the raised dimple on the dizzy case.

4th Step: Insert the distributor. It may take a little wiggling, but it'll get there.

5th Step: Hook up all the wires.

6th Step: Fire it up!
