INSTALLATION
Step 1
Remove the cap and rotor, then remove the
condensor.
Step 2
Remove the plastic insulators (see Figure 1).
Step 3
Loosen the 2 nuts that hold the cap clips/brackets in
place (see Figure 1). NOTE: To loosen the nuts on
a marine distributor, the aluminum pins in the
brackets may need to be cut in two and removed.
Replacement pins are provided.
Step 4
Remove the point plate assembly by lifting it out of
the housing (see Figure 1).
Step 5
See Figure 2.
Remove the advance springs. Remove the two Eclips. Remove the advance weights and bushings.
Step 6
Lift the sleeve and advance plate up and off the
distributor shaft.
NOTE: Between the distributor shaft drive plate and
the advance plate is a thrust washer. Sometimes
the thrust washer sticks to the bottom of the advance plate during removal of the sleeve and
advance plate. Make sure you install the thrust
washer on the distributor shaft drive plate. A replacement thrust washer is provided if your thrust
washer needs replacement.
