>>C<< DISTRIBUTOR INSTALLATION
1. Align the timing mark of the camshaft sprocket (right bank)

with that of the cylinder head.

2. Align the mating marks on the distributor housing and

coupling, then install the distributor to the engine.

>>D<< ROCKER ARM AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY
INSTALLATION
1. Rotate the camshaft until the dowel pin on its front end is

located as shown in the illustration.

NOTE: Placing the camshaft in the illustrated position
minimizes the amount of cam lift, making it easier to install
the rocker arm and shaft assembly.

2. Temporarily tighten the rocker shaft with the bolts so that all

rocker arms on the inlet valve side do not push the valves.
