Distributor Cap

  3. Remove the cap by lifting straight up to prevent damage to the rotor blade and spring.

    NOTE: If the plug wires do not have enough slack to allow cap removal, confirm that they are properly labeled and remove them from the cap.

  4. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. Note the position of the square alignment locator, or keyway, and tighten the hold-down screws.
