Express 1500 RWD V6-4.3L VIN X (2005)
distributor.
NOTE: The ignition system distributor driven gear and rotor may be installed in multiple positions. In order to avoid mistakes, mark the distributor
on the following components in order to ensure the same mounting position upon reassembly:
-
The distributor driven gear
-
The distributor shaft
-
The rotor holes
Installing the driven gear 180 degrees out of alignment, or locating the rotor in the wrong holes, will cause a no-start condition. Premature engine
wear or damage may result.
4. Use a long screw driver in order to align the oil pump drive shaft to the drive tab of the distributor.
5. Guide the distributor into the engine. Ensure the flat portion of the distributor housing is facing toward the front of the engine.
6. Once the distributor is fully seated, the rotor segment should be aligned with the pointer cast into the distributor base. If the rotor segment does not
come within a few degrees of the pointer, repeat the procedure in order to achieve the proper alignment.
7. Install the distributor mounting clamp bolt.
NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
Tighten the bolt to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).
