(3) Remove the slotted head locking screw

attaching the contact support to the distributor breaker

plate, and remove the contact points. If the capacitor is

to be replaced, remove the screw attaching the

capacitor to the breaker plate and remove the capacitor.

(4) Apply a light coat of grease to the

distributor cam. Install a new capacitor. Install a new

contact support over the pivot post and start the slotted

head locking screw attaching contact support to breaker

plate, but do not tighten the screw at this time. Install

the breaker lever over the pivot post and over the inner

end of the primary terminal. Install and tighten the nut

on the primary terminal.

(5) Rotate the crankshaft until the breaker

lever rubbing block is on a high spot on the cam, thus

opening the contact points to their maximum open

position. Turn the eccentric adjusting screw to obtain

the specified contact point gap of 0.016 in. Lock the

points in position by tightening the contact plate locking

screw.

After tightening contact plate locking screw,

recheck point gap. Refer to figures 4-26 and 4-27.
