Default installing distributor cap and rotor...

anything i need to know..... it looks like you just unscrew the three screws from the distributor cap, then bolt it back up... how does the rotor attach?

very easy install.
you'll to to crank the motor (by hand or key) until you can see the rotor retainer screw holding the rotor in place. look from behind it and you'll see it. some peoples have been hard to get out but my was a sinch when i did it about a month ago. hope that help

yea, take cap off, check to see if you can already see the screw if not then crank it until you do. then unscrew and remove rotor, replace rotor and screw, replace cap with gasket, replace wires and good to go . if you have any problem or more questions let me know and when i get home can take some pics, cuz i actually gotta swtich my cap due to getting the wrong one before.

i'm not a registered member of t-i so ignore me if i'm repeating.

be sure to remove the 15amp pgm-fi fuse under the hood so that your cylinders dont get flooded. and also make sure to have the right size bit/screwdriver. its not hard to strip...I had to drill mine out and buy a new screw

Like what TuroedGSR said, make sure you get the right screwdriver for the screw on the rotor. It can be a bitch to get off and prone to stripping. Also when you install the new one, put a tab loctite on the screw. When I installed mine, the screw came off after three days and I needed to replace the whole rotor again.
