Applying installation marks to the distributor

3. Remove the distributor cap and set it aside. To do this, bend the retaining clips on the side of the distributor away from the cap using a screwdriver.
4. Disconnect the distributor housing multi-pin connector by pressing in the wire clip. Pull on the plug, not the cable.
5. Disconnect the tension bar.
6. Remove the ignition distributor with the tension bar from the camshaft bed.
7. Do not turn the crankshaft with the ignition distributor removed.
Installation
1. Insert the distributor with the shaft journal into the groove of the camshaft.
The journal and groove are located eccentrically and can only be combined in one position.
2. Tighten the clamp bar by hand.
3. If the rotor has been removed, check its position by moving it back and forth.
4. Turn the distributor so that both marks are aligned. Tighten the clamping bar fastener. If the distributor is being replaced, turn it so that the lug on it (on the right near the groove) was located opposite the tide on the camshaft housing.
5. Clean the inside of the distributor cap, install it, and secure it with clamps. Connect the wiring connector.
6. Check the basic ignition timing setting (see Chapter Vehicle settings and routine maintenance).
