bushing already installed. If a different degree of advance is

desired, follow the procedures to change the bushings.

HOW TO SET UP THE ADVANCE BUSHINGS

advance assembly at the bottom of the bushing pin.

• The bushing will slide off.

• Select the new bushing and install.

• Install the washer and locknut.

bushing from the advance assembly.

2. Remove the roll-pin and gear at the bottom of the

distributor. Remove the roll-pin and stop collar at

bottom of distributor housing.

3. Lift the shaft at least two inches out of the housing, but do

not remove the shaft.

4. Turn the shaft 180º so the bushing pin slides into the

small hole on the advance plate.

5. Put the locknut and washer back onto the advance

bushing pin, which locks the advance in place.

6. Install stop collar and roll-pin. Install the drive gear and

roll-pin.
