Remove the plastic insulators (see Figure 1).
Step 3
Loosen the 2 nuts that hold the cap clips/brackets in
place (see Figure 1).
NOTE: To loosen the nuts on
a marine distributor, the aluminum pins in the
brackets may need to be cut in two and removed.
Replacement pins are provided.
Step 4
Remove the point plate assembly by lifting it out of
the housing (see Figure 1).
Step 5
See Figure 2.
Remove the advance springs. Remove the two E-
clips. Remove the advance weights and bushings.
Step 6

NOTE: Between the distributor shaft drive plate and
the advance plate is a thrust washer. Sometimes
the thrust washer sticks to the bottom of the ad-
vance plate during removal of the sleeve and
advance plate. Make sure you install the thrust
washer on the distributor shaft drive plate. A re-
placement thrust washer is provided if your thrust
washer needs replacement.
