Title: renewing 16v distibutor
Post by: raferackstraw on 01 November 2009, 12:34

hi guys i have done a search but no joy

i want to fit a new distributor to my kr 16v, do you just undo the 2 10mm bolts that clamp the distributor collar and pull out the distributor?

and is no1 cylinder at cambelt end or flywheel?
thanx in advance

yes and #1 is cambelt end.
if you look at the replacement dizzy you'll probably see marks where it was bolted on the donor car, fit it the same way and it should be close enough to run then you can tweak it with a timing light.

thanks rj just swapped it over, and set it the same as the old dizzy, bought a strobe light today and timing was too far retarded which was making engine run hot all sorted now
