Well yeah you added a helpful video but it doesnt explain how to set it making sure Cylinder 1 is at TDC to where the rotor should be pointing when sitting in the engine, to help those that have had a block sent to them to rebuild and install without a distributor
I used a flare nut wrench to remove the distributor retaining bolt (I did an O-ring replacement). It was a PITA. Anyway, I can't stress enough how important it is to label things. Made the job so much easier, and I got the timing perfectly after putting the distributor back on.
i tried replacing it, tightened the 15mm bolt down, started the car and the distributor popped out, when i removed the bolt the first time it didnt have the hold down, do i need to get one?, it also moves a lot
Great video thank you for the information

You found your missing 10mm socket!!
Great Vid Those 3 shiny screws in distributer on top after taking distributer off do they need to be tight ?
Hey Andy, where'd you get the new part from? Have a link?
I ordered it off eBay. Unfortunately, I don’t have a link since this was done a while back.
@@PhillipsVision all good Andy, I find one for $80 on Amazon thanks for the helpful video once again
@@Cus7ate9 👍
Finding information to tell how to set it in the motor after rebuild is unknown or nonexistant
I have a doubt, where is cylinder 1 in that position, because if cylinder 1 is up, the distributor is pulling for cylinder 3
When looking from the trunk, Cylinder 1 on the distributor is the one closest to cylinder 5 on the engine.
Well Done...Cute Kid
sunnyjacksmack thx👍
Is it possible to have the timing 180 degs out?
Yes, and that will cause backfiring

Yes, you need that plate
@@PhillipsVision do you know where i can get one?
@@davidcohetero9258 try eBay or Rodney Dickman. I don’t think you’ll be able to find one new.
@@PhillipsVision ok thank you
