zonianbrat Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Doing the plugs and wires is not too bad.. The number 6 plug can be a PITA just remember to use the tools provided in teh spare tire repair kit. As far as the distributor I am not sure as I have not done it yet. Think I need to soon though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattd123 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 is the rotor as easy to swap or does than need fine tuning or is it tricky like point type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Only thing with the rotor is it has a screw that holds it in the proper place, if the screw is in the wrong position when you pull the cap off it can be a pain (just did mine last night, I just bumped the starter till the rotor turned to a good spot). For the screws on the cap, be carefull if they are old that you don't strip the head. I used a large flat screw driver with a wrench on it to turn them (stock screws). The replacement cap came with 8mm drive screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
