10. Once the distributor is fully seated, align the distributor rotor segment with the number 8 pointer that is cast into the distributor base.

may be off a tooth or more. Repeat the procedure in order to achieve proper alignment.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants,
or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may
damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
12. Install the distributor clamp bolt. Tighten the distributor clamp bolt to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).
