Yes!!!! You have to get the engine back to top dead center on cylinder one. Also make sure that it is on the compression stroke and not the exhaust stroke or you will fire 180 out.
To remove and replace the distributor on a 1997 5.7 Vortec engine, first disconnect the battery and remove the ignition coil and any wiring connected to the distributor. Mark the position of the distributor housing and rotor for proper alignment during reinstallation. Remove the distributor hold-down bolt and carefully lift the distributor out, noting the orientation of the gear. Install the new distributor by aligning it with the marked position, securing it with the hold-down bolt, and reconnecting all wiring and the ignition coil.
The Camshaft sensor is located in the distributor.
yes, under the rotor in the distributor
It's located in the distributor under the rotor.
As long as you marked or took note on what position the distributor cap was in when you took out the distributor, you can turn the distributor gear 180 degrees and reinstall it. There is a flat piece in the end of the distributor that looks like a flat head screwdriver and sometimes that turns when you take the whole thing out. This would put you 180 off on your timing. Try that and then reinstall and that may be your only problem.
To replace the distributor on a 5.7L Vortec engine, first, disconnect the negative battery cable and remove any components obstructing access to the distributor. Mark the position of the old distributor and the rotor's orientation for proper alignment during reinstallation. Remove the distributor hold-down bolt and lift the distributor out, taking care not to disturb the engine timing. Install the new distributor, aligning it with your marks, secure it with the hold-down bolt, and reconnect any components and the battery.
It is in the distributor.
YES, The 350 Vortec does. It is in the back top side of the engine. All the plug wires go to it.
