Re: how to change distributor o-ring? (pythoner)
Pretty simple...
Unplug the two connectors that attach it to the wiring harness.
Remove the plug wires from the engine (leave them attached to the distributor so you don't mix up the firing order.)
Scribe a line across the distributor to the head so you can realign it when you reinstall it with out changing the ignition timing.
Remove the three 12mm headed bolts that secure the distributor to the head.
Wiggle and pull and it should come right out (stuff a rag in the hole where the distributor goes so you don't drip oil all over the tranny)
Grab a pick, remove old O-ring, install new O-ring and put it back together in the reverse order. Make sure you align the mark that you made so your timing will be correct and put the right plug wire back in the right hole.
