the firing order is usually marked on the engine block. the marking for the distributor can lead to being out 180°. I did that on a Rambler - had fire coming out the carb. Just turned it 180° and it was fine.
The o-ring is only about a dollar or so and the labor consists of removing the dist. cap, marking where the rotor is pointing as well as marking where the ditributor base is set. After marking reference points, remove the 15mm bolt that holds the dist. retainer in. Gently turn the distributor back and forth while pulling up at the same time.Once the dist. is removed the o-ring will either be under the distributor or around the round hole on the intake. Installation is the reverse of removal, just make sure to reference the marks to ensure proper realignment upon installation.
40903 because its the answer x
I'm pretty sure it's 1,3,4,2 and the distributor cap should have a marking on the side or the top indicating which is No 1.
Remove wires from old distributor and put on new one [one at a time, noting locations on distributor, or marking wires and locations]. Remove rotor [noting direction it is pointing] and replace with new one pointing in same direction].
Arsenal markings changed.
remove the distributor and remove the oring. reverse removal procedure...oh be careful that you put the dist back in same way it came out or it wont start.this is done by marking rotor position. You also will need a timing light to reset timing. lubricate new oring
A marking gauge is used for marking out lines to be cut.
HEY HEY It might be a good idea to check at your local piblic library for a repair manual for your car. You will get all your answers there (firing order, direction of distributor rotation, how to find TDC, etc.). For future wire replacement, do one at a time, or mark each wire as you go - including marking the distributor for loacation of number one wire.
Pretty much except I would bring number one cylinder up on the compression stroke then line up TDC on the timing marks, remove cap, note position of distributor and rotor, then pull the distributor up and out, (note that rotor rotates a bit as the dist is removed). This way you have a reference point if something moves.
If you have made the mistake of removing the distributor from an engine without marking exactly where the rotor was, and where the distributor was, you have created a lot of work for yourself. First, you must get the crankshaft to Top Dead Center for the number one piston. There are timing marks on the pulley, which must line up with a pointer or mark mounted on the block. Once this is done, the distributor must be inserted into the head in such a way that the rotor will be under the number one cylinder plug wire position when the distributor is seated. This usually means having the rotor about 20 degrees offset when inserting the distributor, to allow for the worm gear to line up with the drive gear. Then, you have to turn the distributor until the lobe on the distributor shaft which opens the points is just beginning to open the points. Once this is done, the engine should start, and then will need to be timed with a timing light.
Yes , that's where the # 1 spark plug wire connects ( do you have the firing order etc ? You don't mention which engine size you have )
