1. Disconnect battery or make sure ignition switch is off.

2. Remove distributor cap from distributor.  Leave high voltage wires connected in the distributor cap.

3. Remove rotor (1), dust shield (2), points (3), screw (4) and condenser (5).  Examine rotor, spark plug wires, etc.  Replace if any show excessive wear.  Retain points, mounting screw and condenser.  They can be used as a back-up if the igniter should fail.

4. Check side play in top distributor bearing.  Excessive side play will cause erratic performance and must be corrected before installing igniter.

5. Install igniter module (6) in the same holes where the points were located, using the flat head screws (7) provided.  Be sure the adapter plate is lying flat on the breaker plate.

Connect one end of the ground wire (provided) to the module plate.  Slip the other end between the ear of the breaker plate and the distributor housing.  Use the screw that held the condenser to fasten it in place.

If the distributor has a ground wire, connect it to the igniter plate.

6. Install grommet (8) into hole (or slot) (9) in side of distributor body.  Gently pull wires (10) through grommet.

7. Install magnet sleeve (11), with numbers up, over cam on distributor shaft.  Locate sleeve on cam and press firmly into position.

Note : Sleeve may fit tightly over cam.  It may be necessary to use the rotor (12), to press the sleeve over the cam.  be sure sleeve is located correctly over cam (rotate it until a slight locating position can be felt) before pressing it into place.  Press all the way on until fully seated.

8.  The igniter module must not touch the magnet sleeve.  Rotate the distributor shaft through a complete revolution and verify that there is an air gap between the igniter module and the magnet sleeve.

9. Make sure wires (10) do not interfere with any moving parts in the distributor.

10. Replace distributor cap.  make sure all high voltage wires are securely seated.

11. Connect the black igniter wire to the negative (-) terminal of the ignition coil.  Connect the red igniter wire to the positive (+) terminal of the ignition coil.  For installations that use a primary ballast resistor, it is preferable to connect the red wire to the ignition switch side of the resistor rather than to the positive (+) terminal of the coil.

12.  The engine can now be started.  Let the engine run for a few minutes and then set timing in a conventional manner.
