Remove wires from old distributor and put on new one [one at a time, noting locations on distributor, or marking wires and locations].
Remove rotor [noting direction it is pointing] and replace with new one pointing in same direction].
undo the hold down screws and pull off, replace the rotor and install the new cap and then transfer plug wires one at a time to the proper location on the new cap.
Cap and rotor, yes. Points, no.
there is no distributor on a 98 rav. therefore no cap or rotor. replace the plugs and wires and the tuneup is done
You remove your Water pump after that you'll figer it out
The 3.8 liter V6 engine has a distributor cap and rotor in a 1997 Ford Thunderbird
I have never heard of this - I don't think that there should ever be oil inside the cap and rotor of any car. If you have oil in the cap or rotor you probably have yourself a messed up situation requiring it necessary to replace both the cap and the rotor.
What about the timming
There is two screews that hold the cap on ,remove them. Then just pull the rotor up and off. It will only go on 1 way. Transfur wires to new cap while keeping them in order.
Needs cap and rotor
It is a good idea to replace them at the same time as your regular tune-up.
Doesn't have em
