Assembly-'
To set the breaker point gap the distributor
rotor and the dust shield must be removed
from the distributor. Turn the distributor
until the points are separated to their widest
position.
Loosen the lock screw on the fixed point and
turn the cam screw until the points are sepa-
rated .020". Tighten lock screw and recheck
point adjustment.
To time the engine, turn the engine \mill No.1
cylinder is at top dead center on its com-
pression stroke and the timing mark on the
fan pulley is located in the center of the tim-
ing inspection opening directly below crank
support in the hood support. Hold the dis-
tributor with the coil wire terminal pointing
toward # 1 spark plug, and the rotor pointing
towards the clip farthest from terminal. Enter
the distributor into the engine block in this
position. As the distributor enters the block
and the gears mesh, the rotor will turn
slightly in a counter clockwise direction.
Clamp the distributor in place partially and
turn the distributor body in a counter clock-
wise direction until the points just start to
open. Clamp the distributor body securely
in this position. This will place vent in dust
shield downfor proper drainage. Place No. I
spark plug wire directly above the rotor and
then proceed around the distributor in a clock-
wise direction placing 3,4, l spark plug wires.
Place the high tension coil wire in the center
outlet of the distributor cap. Attach the bat-
tery lead wire from the coil terminal to the
terminal on the side of the distributor body.

on the rubber nipples on the distributor to
spark plug wires and high tension coil lead.
The distributor is a Delco-Remy model
