If it a 350, it is the front left post looking at it from the front bumper.
There are several methods that you can use to reduce friction a screw. The guide collar of the screwdriver should be in an angular position in relation to the screw. This will ensure that the screw goes in a linear motion and reduces friction.
The distributor has only one plug and one screw. You should note the position of the adjustment slot and the exact position of the rotor, and make sure the new one is put in exactly the same.
In order to get the set screw in a position so it can be easily removed, you have to get the rotor to rotate. Act as if you are going to start the car, but only hold the key in the start position for a split second. The cars engin will turn over, and the rotor will rotate, hopefully to where it is easier to get the screw out. If not, try again.
#1 will be the first hole past the cap's mounting screw on the left side of the distributor, going clockwise.
Take the cap off the distributor and crank the engine until you see the timing marks line up. When they do, the number one cylinder is at TDC. Now simply look to see which post the rotor on the distributor would be pointing to (remember the cap is off). If you can't find the timing marks, stick a screw driver in the number one cylinder spark plug hole and crank until the piston moves the screw driver out as far as it will go.
A screw or a bolt is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
Remove the covers to the steering column, then use a small screw driver and push in tab on bottom of cylinder with key in run position and pull out.
buy a new distributor cap and rotor. Unscrew the distributor cap (on the drivers side of the engine block), take note how the existing rotor is sitting, remove it, and place the new rotor in the same position. Put on the distributor cap and screw it into place... very simple job. thats how you change the rotor......he asked about the distributor....try again.
Every picture I have seen for the 2.8 liter V6 engine in a Ford Ranger shows : The # 1 position on the distributor cap faces towards the REAR and slightly towards the PASSENGER side of the vehicle ( just to the left of the rear distributor cap clip or screw when you are looking from the front of the vehicle ) The distributor rotor turns CLOCKWISE The firing order is ( 1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3 - 6 ) The engine cylinder locations are numbered : firewall 3 - 6 2 - 5 1 - 4 front of vehicle
As the screw holes on the distributor caps are used to hold the cap down, when stripped, the cap could be JB Weld. ?æRe-drill the screw hole once the weld cures.
As a general rule you can't. There is a retaining pin, screw, or nut that cannot be accessed or made to release the cylinder without the key being unlocked (cylinder in a certain position) - this is to prevent theft.
A screw is really an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
