Disconnect the negativ battery cable whenever working with anything electrical on a car. Then take the cap off and see where the rotor is pointing. Then remove the dist and make sure the new rotor is pointing the EXACT way the old one was when the dist is fully installled in the oil pump. Then the timing will have to be set with a light. To do this every car is different and you need a manual to do this. On the rotor simply remove the screws and remove the rotor./
Disconnect the battery negative cable.Mark each distributor wire before you disconnect them- it makes it alot easier to hook back up.. If youn have the cover plate still on over the distributor remove it.With a felt pen mark on the plenum and distributor side by side-this is your timing mark-it's crude but with out a light it will work.My distributor was red so the felt pen mark showed up. You might have to use the base of the distributor to get the mark.Next mark the position of the rotor. It must go back into the original postion-if your are close it will only go in one way the oil pump pickup is on the botton and these two must mesh for the distributor to go all the way down.It will only go down all the way 2 ways the right way and 180 degrees out.Remove all the connectors on the side of the distributor, loosen off the bolt on the passenger side, lift up the distributor and unplug the 4-way connector on the back. Change the rotor by removeing the two screws.If your this far-I'm sure you figured that part out.
How do you access and change the outboard tail light bulbs in a 1984 Corvette?
You have to lay on the ground and reach your arm all the way up (right next to the exhaust/tail pipes. So do this with engine cold so you don't burn your arm)until your fingers reach the bulb connector. Then, turn the connector counter-clockwise until it won't turn anymore (approx. 1/4 turn) then pull it out from the lense assembly housing. Unfortunatally, since you can't get your other hand up there, you will have to be clever and unscrew the bulb from where it plugs in to the connector assembly, using the same hand. Installing the new bulb will require the same method, (reversed).
How do you install the bottom fan belt on a 1979 Corvette 350 motor?
It's basically the same procedure as the rest of the belts. Depending upon which belt you're changing, you'll have to loosen the tension on and remove one or more of the other belts. Plan on loosening one or more, depending if your car has them: alternator, smog pump, a/c compressor and/or power steering pump.
The alternator loosens from the top, as does the a/c compressor. The power steering pump loosens from the front, as does the smog pump, if I'm not mistaken. 1/2" or 7/16" wrench/socket. Please correct me if I'm wrong on these.
Best of luck! -ku2002

Yes it is a wonderful corvette, at $125,000 it is pretty cheap for a car that can go 205 mph but i heard the interior is not that good otherwise it is wonderful and does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds
At 42,000 miles there is no need at all to drop the pan and clean the engine. If the oil had never been changed and that is your concern then I would recommend going to bgfindashop.com. There you can find a repair shop in your area that can do a flush using their chemicals. I have used them and they do an excellent job.
