Distributors and Distributor Caps
Distributors and distributor caps are components of an ignition system. Most internal combustion engines use these to deliver high voltage sparks into the engine in the correct firing order, which in turn creates combustion.

What is the difference between trim condenser and condenser?
I believe the term , trim condensers is a method for put in parallel two or more Nh3 condenser into one installataion , in order to arrive at correcct condensation from both machines , since one incorrect trim migth do , some off them is not working , or working far away from your design capacity
above mentioned is not correct
How do you turn the distributor on a 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue 318 engine?
Loosen distributor clamp located at the base of the distributor with 1/2 socket on a swivel extension. The bolt is on the passenger side. Wanna help do head gaskets?
How do you adjust timing with a distributor cap that has latches holding it stationary?
The timing for this type of distributor is set by rotating the entire distributor, not just the cap. The distributor should have a lock down bolt holding it down where it sets in a housing. With the engine NOT running, mark the original position of the distributor with a marker or some white paint. Then you loosten the hold down bolt a little, then see if you can turn the entire distribuor very slowly just a little bit. If it turns a little, then you can hook up your timing light paying attention to the cautions and warnings in the instructions for the timing light or the auto manual being used to set the timing. You start the engine, and slowly turn the entire distributor left or right until the desired timing is reached. Turn off the engine, then tighten the distributor back down.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell!

The PPPA (Prevention of Pollution from Ships) cap requirement refers to regulations aimed at limiting the discharge of pollutants from ships to protect marine environments. Under international agreements like MARPOL, ships must comply with specific standards regarding the treatment and disposal of waste, including oil, sewage, and hazardous materials. The cap requirement ensures that vessels have adequate systems in place to manage waste and prevent pollution, contributing to sustainable maritime practices. Compliance is monitored through inspections and certifications to ensure adherence to these environmental standards.
What is the location of the number one plug wire on the distributor of a 1989 4.3 Chevrolet?
Front left of the cap
How do you now if you put leads on distributor in right order?
If you put the spark plug leads back on in the wrong order the engine will most certainly miss fire. The best way is to find the number one spark plug wire and then follow clockwise the firing sequence for the engine.
make sure that the number 1 piston is at tdc on the compression stroke, then look and make sure the rotor is pointing at number 1. if not lift the distributor up and turn it towards the number 1 cylinder and put the number 1 wire on the cap were number 1 is, then wire it 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2 clockwise It probably means that the piston is between the exhaust and intake cycle and that you need to turn the crankcase 360 degrees. That should put the distributor in the right place.
Where is the distributor fuse?
The distributor fuse is typically located in the fuse box of a vehicle, which can usually be found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. Its exact position may vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, so it's best to consult the owner's manual for specific instructions. The fuse is designed to protect the electrical system by breaking the circuit in case of an overload or short circuit. Always ensure the vehicle is turned off and the battery is disconnected before inspecting or replacing fuses.
the firing order for ALL Chevy V-8s are as follows 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
the driver side of the motor are odd numbers (1-3-5-7) # 1 being at the front the passenger side are the even numbers 2-4-6-8 3 #2 being at the front
AnswerYour firing order is writen on the front of your intake manifold behind the inlet hose for your radiator. your cylinders are also numbered on your manifold.How do you size a ac condenser for a home?
There is only one way to properly size an ac unit or a furnace. That is by performing a load calculation. This is a process that takes into account the construction features of the home. It is also based on weather data for the specific location of the home. For more information you can click on the load calculation page at http://www.hvac-for-beginners.com

Model number for lucas distributor as fitted to mark 2 zephyr?
Hi
Assuming these are for a six-cylinder engine, the basic numbers, stamped on the body just below the cap, are:
40546B for the high-compression head (7.8:1) - low tension terminal normally has a red washer
40545A for the low-compression head (6.9:1) - low tension terminal normally has a green washer
For Australian models the above numbers may become:
DM2-40546B for the high-compression head (7.8:1)
DM6-40545A for the low-compression head (6.9:1)
When points are fully open, loosen the two main screws to get close to initial setting (below), then perform fine setting of points by turning the small eccentric screw in the adjustable contact plate. Tighten the main screws and re-check setting.
Set points gap to 0.012 inch - if this promotes difficult starting increase gap to 0.013 inch and re-try. If this is unsuccessful use the factory 0.014 inch setting.
The knurled adjustment wheel minutely adjusts timing to suit different grades of fuel.
Hope this helps
Cheers
How do you repair an oil leak in a 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue?
You locate where the oil is leaking from (which can be a number of locations), and replace the failing seal.
That's the proper way to do it. Now on an OLDER HIGHER MILEAGE Vehicle here is my suggestion.
If you have a main seal leak - which can be at either end of the crank shaft , coming out from under the front pulley or dripping out of the gearbox housing - there is a *patch* one can attempt that has worked for me more than once and has been quite effective.
Put about a half pint of automatic transmission in the engine oil. THATS IT. It either works or it doesn't and what do you have to lose ?
What this does is softens and reshapes the edges of the oil seals that generally begin to dry out and get brittle with age.
i would suggest checking your fuel pressure. I just had a similier problem with my 98 tj and i replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, up and downstream o2 sensors, and fuel pump. i still had a problem so i plugged in an odb2 sensor and i pulled codes for injector misfire. So what i ended up doing was replaced the o rings on all 6 injectors and bought a can of 50.00 fuel injector cleaner.... my jeep now runs fine... needless to say i spent about 500.00 dollars on parts i really didnt need.
Code P01320 means Ignition signal primary cicuit fault.
After replace all that stuff did you go back in the OBD and clear the codes?? If not that's probably why its still pulling the same code
Where does 1 spark go on a 312ci distributor?
Turn the engine to top dead center on #1 cylinder. Make sure your on the compression stroke. this can be done by covering the spark plug hole and quickly bumping the starter. when it blows your finger away its on the compression stroke. continue to move the engine slowly in the same direction until the piston is at the top. take the dist cap off and look at the rotor. Wherever its pointing will be the #1 position. It can actually be anywhere in the rotation depending on how the distributor was installed.
Where is the ignition control module located in my 1979 firebird?
The control mod is In the distributor, Under the rotor cap. Very easy to see with the cap off. hope that helps.
Where are the timing marks located on a Chevy van g20 57l?
If this is a 305/350/400 small block Take the lead from the coil to the distributor "OFF" to prevent the engine from firing. This will take two people or a remote starter. Turn the engine over until the mark on the tortional damper lines up with the center or O mark on the timing tab on the front of the engine fastened to the crankcase front cover and the engine is in the number one firing position. This may be determined by placing fingers on the nuber one valve as the mark on the damper comes near the O mark on the crankshaft front cover.If the valves are not moving the engine is in the number one firing position.If the valves move as the mark comes up to the timing tab the engine is in number 6 position and should be rotated one more complete turn to bring it to the number one firing position. Also take the cover off of the distributor to determine that the rotor is positioned properly pointing to the number one spark plug then follow the firing order for that engine should be 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2 Wayne
