INSTALLATION
1. Apply a film of oil to the new O-ring and install it to the base of the distributor.
2. Note the distributor drive. It has two offset tabs that allow the distributor to be installed only in the
correct position (Figure 2). Line up these tabs with those of the camshaft and install the distributor
into the engine.
3. Install the three 12mm bolts to secure the distributor to the engine. Do not tighten them at this time
(The timing will require adjustment ).
4. Connect the distributor connector into the engine harness (Figure 3).
5. Connect the 4-pin Deutsch connector to the matching connector of the MSD Coil Driver (Figure
3). The factory tach will function without connecting the Blue auxiliary tach wire.
6. A set of terminals and boots have been supplied so most wires can be converted from the factory
socket terminals to the improved terminals of the MSD Distributor. Install the spark plug wires
making sure they are in
the correct firing order. For
Crimping Instructions, see
the following procedure on
page 3.
7. Install the MSD wire retainer
with the supplied screws
(Figure 3).
8. Start the engine and set the
ignition timing to the factory
specifications. Once set,
torque the three distributor
bolts to 16-18 lb-ft.
