How you replace a distributor on a Ford Festiva?

Answer 1

this is a possible 2 part answer based on required clarification of question. to remove the "distributor (cap and rotor)" then you simply unscrew the 2 screws located directly on the outer cap. first remove all wires and be sure as to where they return(or what sparkplug they goto). unscrew these screws and the cap should pull off. you should be looking at the rotor button which also is removed. do this for a minor tune up and replace them if they look warn. if you forgot the order of the wires, then look at the cap, there should be a number 1, this coresponds to cylinder 1 which is closest to the passenger side of the vehicle. fire order is 1-3-4-2 going counter clockwise around the rotor cap. to remove the whole distributor, there are 2 bolts, 14mm, on the right and lower part holding it to the head of the car. if you remove the distributor, there is an o-ring that must be replaced as this is an oil seal and could be damaged during removal from head. hope this helps ...{ASMDEMON} this is a possible 2 part answer based on required clarification of question. to remove the "distributor (cap and rotor)" then you simply unscrew the 2 screws located directly on the outer cap. first remove all wires and be sure as to where they return(or what sparkplug they goto). unscrew these screws and the cap should pull off. you should be looking at the rotor button which also is removed. do this for a minor tune up and replace them if they look warn. if you forgot the order of the wires, then look at the cap, there should be a number 1, this coresponds to cylinder 1 which is closest to the passenger side of the vehicle. fire order is 1-3-4-2 going counter clockwise around the rotor cap. to remove the whole distributor, there are 2 bolts, 14mm, on the right and lower part holding it to the head of the car. if you remove the distributor, there is an o-ring that must be replaced as this is an oil seal and could be damaged during removal from head. hope this helps ...{ASMDEMON}
