Re-Assembly and Installation
1.
Place the stator assembly over the bushing and press down to seat.
2.
Place the stator connector in position - tab should fit in notch on base and fastening eyelets aligned with screw holes.
3.
Position wires away from moving parts.
4.
Install the two stator screws and torque to specification (25-35 in.lbs.).
5.
Reinstall the octane rod, inserting rod through the base hole.
6.
Place end of octane rod onto the same post as the original stator. Only one post should easily fit in rod hole.
7.
Firmly seat octane rod seal into housing.
8.
Reinstall the octane rod screw and torque to specification (25-35 in.lbs.).
9.
If required, reinstall the thrust washer on top of the bushing.
10.
Apply a light coat of ESF-M2C70-A to the distributor shaft below the armature.
11.
Insert the shaft through the base bushing.
12.
Place the collar, if required, over the shaft and line up mark on armature and collar to aid alignment with original drill hole. Use a drift punch to
assure proper alignment.
NOTE:
Drill holes through shaft and collar should align on both sides of shaft. If holes do not align, the collar may be 180 degrees out of alignment on
the shaft. Rotate the collar on the shaft one half rotation and recheck.
13.
Insert new roll pin (Part No. 67555-S) through collar and shaft. Pin should be flush with both sides of collar when seated.
