Distributor Cap

Removal

Loosen distributor cap hold-down screws. Remove cap straight off distributor to prevent damage to rotor blade and spring.

Cleaning and Inspection

Wash both inside and outside surfaces of the distributor cap with soap and water. Dry cap with compressed air. Inspect cap for cracks, broken carbon button or carbon tracks. Also, inspect cap terminals for dirt and corrosion. Replace the cap if it is damaged.

Installation

1. Position distributor cap on distributor base noting the square alignment locator. Tighten hold-down screws to 2.0-2.6 Nm (18-23 lb-in).

2. Re-install any ignition wires that were removed, noting their correct locations on the distributor cap.
