Leaky Distributor
Tools Required:
10mm socket 12mm socket
Optional:
Timing light (This isnt necessary if you make accurate reference marks. However we do recommend that you check the timing after you do this fix.)
Steps:
- Make a reference mark on the distributor where it connects to the distributor housing. Also make a reference mark on the rotor so you can line everything up when reassembling everything.
- Remove the vacuum line and the yellow plug from the distributor.
- Remove the 12mm bolt that holds the distributor to the housing.
- Pull the distributor from the housing.
- Remove the three 10mm bolts from the housing.
- Remove the housing from the head. A small amount of oil will leak out when you do this.
- Replace the o-ring on the distributor and the one on the distributor housing.
- Reconnect the housing to the head. Be sure to reconnect the ground wire.
- Pour a small amount of oil into the housing so that the gears arent dry when you start the motor.
- Reinstall the distributor to the housing making sure to line up your reference marks.
- Reconnect the vacuum line, yellow plug, and cap. The motor should start as long as you lined up the reference marks. We recommend that you check the timing now.
