Installing Pick-up Coil Retainer
NOTE: Use a new round retainer if center bushing in distributor base has no groove around the outside. Use a new square retainer when there is a
groove in center bushing.
-
Place retainer over center bushing with teeth pointing upward.
-
Place a 15 mm (5/8 in.) socket head onto edge of retainer. Keep socket centered on retainer so the teeth are not damaged. Use a small
hammer to tap retainer evenly down on center bushing. When installing square retainer, make sure both teeth are seated in groove on bushing.
NOTE: The retainer should hold shield, pickup coil, and pole piece firmly.
-
Install shaft assembly into housing.
-
Install tanged washer, shim and drive gear (teeth up) to bottom of shaft. Align drive gear and shaft assembly.
-
Install new roll pin and spin shaft to make sure teeth on shaft assembly do not touch pole piece.
