It comes off after you remove the rotor. Rotate the rotor until you can see the screw head in the access valley towards the back of the distributor.

 

thanks so much. I appreciate the fast response. going to get to work. peace

just came back, without the battery terminal connected can i manually turn the rotor? i don't think i can.

 

Gotta either remove the distributor or turn the engine by the crank pulley bolt.

I usually opt for remove the distributor b/c sometimes I need to use an impact driver to break the rotor screw loose otherwise I risk stripping the head.

Just make sure you note the distributor key/keyway orientation when you remove the distributor if the key/keyway aren't symmetrical. If you get confused, set the cams to TDC #1 and align the distributor to fire at the #1 cap position. That'll ensure that you don't mess up the cam angle sensor phasing.

 

connect the battery back. with the cap off just crank the motor a lil bit wit the key from inside the car so the screw is facing up
