remove dizzy (1-2 bolts), swap orings (just a rubberband like seal around the neck of the dizzy) reattach dizzy. set ignition timing.
OR you can use a paint pin to mark its position before you remove the dizzy, and eliminate the last step. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

I remember having a hard time reinstalling the distributor with the valve cover on. The forks kept spinning and didnt want to seat inside the camshaft.
I found it much easier to just remove the valve cover. Only like 4 big nuts. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
