The first step in removing the distributor is to pull the cable away from the negative battery terminal, and if you have one, you will need to have the right code to reactivate the radio in the presence of an anti theft system. Then, pull any clamps and electrical connectors off the distributor, marking the wires and hoses for replacement. If there is no raised number or letter on the distributor cap, locate the number one spark plug wire terminal by locating the number one spark plug to the wire. The distributor cap should then be removed and the engine should be turned so the rotor points at the number one spark plug terminal. Position the distributor base beneath the rotor tip and make a mark on it so that when it's installed it is aligned with the cylinder head. Don't turn the crankshaft when you remove the distributor hold-down bolt(s) and pull out the distributor. If the crankshaft has moved the number one piston back to TDC but now the number one piston is positioned so the number one piston is at TDC by feeling compression at the number one plug hole for installation. Replace the old O ring on the distributor housing and stick the distributor back into series in the cylinder head as it was as before, being certain the lugs and grooves are line up. Check the distributor alignment marks to confirm the distributor is in its original position then check the rotor alignment against a previously made mark. Install the hold-down bolt(s) loosely and install the remainder by reversing the removal steps making sure you check your ignition timing and secure the hold down bolt(s).
