My scum/slumlord is telling me, my truck has to be moved because the city will fine her.
Long story short, she says the truck needs to be moved away from the house asap. Guess, I'll be moving next month. Anywho, please, excuse the ranting. Ok, I am having a hard time reconnecting distributor cap. Pulley and damper were turned by accident with distrib cap off, but turned back to original position. Any help to get it back on would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: How to install distribtor cap
if the cap is just off it dont matter just put it back but it you pullled wires off the cap thenbring the motor up on #1 tdc compression and run the firing order. same goes for if you pulled the hole distributor too. #1 tdc set in with rotor facing #1 cyl and then install cap and play with the timeing but if you are a tooth off it can play hell with you. good luck man

Re: How to install distribtor cap
if you only pulled the cap, it's not an issue. just put it back on.

Set the cap on, turn until it drops down, (once it drops into the notch you won't be able to turn just the cap.) lock it down.

The cap is on, but now the locking screws are semi frozen, they will not go down but I can turn them slightly. One keeps hitting the vaccum.
Noob, here so excuse the multiple questions. Thanks. Posted via Mobile Device Last edited by cfan10; 05-16-2012 at 12:01 PM. |

Re: How to install distribtor cap
I believe the screws are spring loaded, so you have push them down below the bottom of the rotor, then turn the screw so the elbow rotates under the rotor, and the spring pops it back up, holding it in place. If the screws are indeed frozen, you could probably bennfefit from a new cap.
