You first need to remove the dist. cap and look at the rotor button.There will be a pointer on it. have some one bump the ingition key a little at a time while you watch it turn,keep bumbing the key until it is pointing stright at the fire wall,then stop and mark the fire wall were the pointer on the rotor button is pointing. Be sure not to turn the engine over anymore. Then look at the bottom of the dist. shaft were it goes into the engine you will see a clamp with a bolt in it that holds the dist. in the engine. It is best to mark the shaft and intake were the clamp goes too. Now take the 15mm bolt out of the clamp. now you are ready to lift the dist. out of the engine.pay close attition to the direction the rotor button turns as you lift the dist. up and out of the engine. Do this slow and when the rotor button quits turning mark where it is now pointing on the fire wall. So when you go to put it back in you will need to line the rottor button pointer up with you last mark you made on the fire wall as you set the dist. back down in the engine the rotor button will rotate back to the very first mark you made on the fire wall when you started, if it is all the way down and pointing at your first mark then you did it install clamp and bolt then look at the marks you made on the shaft and intake line those back up. tighten the 15mm bolt,install cap and start engine. sounds easy don`t it. not to hard just remember all your marks.
