INSTALLATION OF DISTRIBUTOR
Hold distributor over mounting pad on cylin-
der block with vacuum chamber pointing to-
ward right hand cylinder bank. Turn rotor un-
til it points forward and to approximate loca-
tion of Number 1 tower in distributor cap. Turn
rotor counter-clockwise until breaker contacts
are just separating. Place distributor oil seal
ring in position. Lower distributor and engage
shaft in slot of distributor drive shaft gear
while holding rotor in position.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
OF CAMSHAFT BEARINGS
(Engine Removed From Car)
a. Removal
With engine completely disassembled, drive
out rear cam bearing Welch plug. Install prop-
er size adapters and horse shoe washers (part
of Tool C-3132) at back of each bearing shell
to be demoved and drive out bearing shells.
b.
Installation
Install new camshaft bearings with Tool C-
3132 by sliding new rear camshaft bearing
shell over proper size adapter. Position bearing
in tool (Fig. 42). Install horseshoe lock and,
by reversing removal procedure, carefully drive
bearing shell into place. Install remaining shells

The oil holes in camshaft bearings and cyl-
inder block must be in exact alignment to in-
sure proper lubrication. (Fig. 42). Camshaft
bearing index can be checked after installation
by inserting a pencil flashlight in bearing shell.
The complete circumference of camshaft bear-
ing hole should be visible by looking through
main bearing drilled oil passage. If camshaft
bearing shell oil hole is not in exact alignment,
remove, and reinstall.
Use Tool C-897 to install a new Welch plug
at rear of camshaft. Be sure this plug does not
leak.
28.
CYLINDER BLOCK
Clean cylinder block thoroughly, check all core
hole plugs for evidence of leaking. If new core
hole plugs are installed; coat edges of plug and
core hole with a suitable sealer and drive plugs
in place with driver, Tool C-897. Examine
block for minute cracks or fractures. Remove
top ridge of cylinder bores with a reliable ridge
reamer before removing pistons from cylinder
block. Be sure to keep tops of piston covered
during this operation.
NOTE
Pistons and connecting rods must be removed
from the top of cylinder block. When removing
piston and connecting rod assemblies from en-
gine, rotate crankshaft so each connecting rod
is centered in cylinder bore and proceed as
follows:
Remove connecting rod cap and bearing
shells.
Install Tool C-3221 on one connecting
rod bolt and protector over the other bolts and
push each piston and rod assembly out of cyl-
inder bore. After removal, install bearing cap
to mating rod.
a. Checking Cylinder Bores
The cylinder bores should be checked for out-
of round and taper with Tool CM-119. If cylin-
der bores show more than .005 inch
out-of-
round or a taper of more than .020 inch, the
cylinder block should be rebored and new pis-
tons and rings fitted.
b.
Honing Cylinder Bores
To remove light scoring, scuffing, or scratches
from cylinder walls, use Honing Tool C-823.
