No, don't remove distributor. Just cap and rotor. Mark your plug wires and distributor cap before removing them from the distributor cap.Where's the sending unit? And after I take the distributor off, do I need to retime it?
Told you guys I'm novice.
Is this a SUMMIT brand distributor? If it is, it will be the counterweights. The Summit HEI's have really light springs. They stick out causing exactly what your describing. If you still have your old distributor, use the stock heavy springs. I just went through this with two separate Chevy Summit HEI'sOK I am going to check the distributor when it warms up a little this week. My friend is giving me a ride to school luckily. How do I check the vacuum advance? And the distributor is fairly new. Do they wear so quickly?
