Reverse procedure to install, noting the following:
a. When installing reluctor, ensure that retaining pin gap faces away from distributor shaft, and that manufacturing code letter or number on
reluctor faces upward.
b. After installation of reluctor, ensure that both air gaps between reluctor and stator are an equal distance apart. If not, loosen stator retaining
screws and position stator until air gaps are as described above. On some models, it may be necessary to remove advance diaphragm
