To change the distributor cap on a 1996 Impala SS, first disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Then, remove the wires from the old distributor cap, taking note of their order for reassembly. Unscrew the cap from the distributor, replace it with the new cap, and reattach the wires in the correct order. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to ensure proper function.
The distributor is called an optispark, and is located on the front of the engine behind the water pump.
There isn't one.
The distributor cap is located on the top of the distributor on a 1996 Sunfire. It is connected to the spark plugs via a wire.
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.
It's the distributor rotor that you are looking for & it's under the distributor cap. Remove the distributor cap and there you will find the rotor.
