DISTRIBUTOR INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
FORD-OHC, X-FLOW, TWIN CAM

GENERAL INFORMATION
1. IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before starting installation.
2. For

12-volt negative ground systems only.

3. New spark plug wires may be required.
4. Solid core spark plug wires

MUST NOT be used.

DISTRIBUTOR REMOVAL
1. Crank the engine until the first cylinder in the firing order is at TDC "Top Dead

Center" on its compression stroke. The timing indicator should point to TDC or 0.

2. Remove the distributor cap, and make sure that the rotor is pointing towards the

contact on the distributor cap for the first cylinder in the firing order.

3. Disconnect the battery negative (-) cable.
4. Disconnect all wires and hoses attached to the distributor.
5. Remove the distributor hold down bolt.
6. Remove the distributor by lifting up on the distributor housing while slightly

turning the rotor.

7. Check the distributor gear for signs of excess wear, or potential problems.

DISTRIBUTOR INSTALLATION

Note: Original hold down clamp must be used with new Flame-Thrower

distributor. Hold down bracket must be free of paint and corrosion, this will insure

that a proper ground is made to the engine block.

1. Remove the Flame-Thrower distributor cap.

2. Lubricate the distributor gear and distributor shaft with clean engine oil.

3. Turn the shaft so that when the distributor is placed into the engine, the rotor

position matches that of the original distributor. As the distributor drops down,

the rotor will turn slightly as it engages with the camshaft gear. Adjust for this

rotation by turning the rotor a few degrees prior to the gear engagement. Several

attempts may be necessary to achieve the proper rotor position.

Note: The

distributor flange will be flush with the engine block if the installation is done

properly.

4. Place the distributor cap onto the housing.
5. Turn the housing so that the terminal, that represents the first cylinder in the

firing order, lines up with the rotor.

6. Install the distributor hold down bolt and tighten completely. Once the ignition

timing is adjusted the hold down clamp should be tightened completely.

7. Tighten the cap into place and install the spark plug wires in the proper firing

order.
