do i have to mess with the distributor before i can adjust the cam gears,and if so, can i adjust the exaust cam without having to do anything with the distributor, because the distributor is on the intake cam, not exaust. Please let me know. thanks

 

I didn't touch the distributor at all when I got my gears adjusted.

If you're nervous just check the timing when you're done.

 

any ideas on which setting to try, and what year is yours, aren't the 98's and up different?

 

WHen you adjust the intake cam on the DOHC or make any adjustments on a SOHC, you MUST reset the ignition timing back to what it was prior to the cam change.

1 degree change at the cam is 2 degree change at the crank.
