Align match marks (2) on the rotor and distributor housing. Install the ignition distributor to the engine.
Disassembly
Typical elements of an ignition distributor
1 - sealing ring;
2 - distributor body;
3 - slider (rotor);
4 - cover;
3 - sealing gasket.
Having unscrewed the screws, remove the ignition distributor cover and sealing gasket.
Pull to remove the distributor rotor.
Remove the O-ring.
Clean the ignition distributor parts and dry them.
Check the status of the contacts. Check the ignition distributor cap for corrosion and burnt electrodes. Check the smoothness of the movement of the carbon contact and the amount of its protrusion.
If there is burnt contact of the distributor rotor, replace the distributor rotor.
Check for cracks on the cover.
