From the spark plugs follow the wires to the distributor cap. Should be three screws holding it on. Remove the screws and cap will come off. Be careful to note where wires are connected to the distributor cap. You'll see the rotor after you remove the distributer cap. A round thing with a little metal piece on the edge, and in the center. This rotor has a set screw on the side of it to hold it on. Some use an Allen wrench, others use a Phillips screw. remove this and the rotor will come off. I found that I had to rotate the engine a little to make it accessable. Install in reverse order. Problems I had was, droping the set screw, while trying to reinstall. Hard to find amongst all that metal. Try to put something for it to fall into if you happen to drop it. Make sure to remove and install the plug wires on the right plugin. This was done on my 1990, I don't know your year so it may or may not be the same Good luck.Scott
