distributor o-ring and IMPORTANT STUFF

eeuroparts.com has the O-ring listed as part number 9176470.
You will need to pull the distributor to replace the ring. It is on the shaft where it enters the cylinder head. The distributor is held in with a little bracket with a single 13mm (I think) bolt. The bolt will be just to the driver's side of the distributor. It is not easy to get a wrench on sometimes.
NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT PART! The position of the distributor sets the timing of the engine. If you loosten the bracket, you can rotate the distributor clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the timing. BEFORE YOU LOOSTEN ANYTHING, mark the position of the distributor. Scratch a thin line at the flange on the distributor nearest the engine and a corresponding line on the cylindar head. This will give you a guide to put it back exactly the way it was.
If you've already loostened the distributor, or you forget to mark it, there is a little groove cut in the flange on the distributor that aligns with a little ledge in the casting on the cylindar head (driver's side). That will get you close to the timing. Then you'll need a timing light to dial it in. Timing a car is a whole other discussion.
When you pull the distributor, you'll see that the piece on the end has two tabs on it. These tabs fit into the end of the exhaust cam. When you put the distributor back, you'll need to be sure that the tabs go back into the corresponding slots in the exhaust cam or the distributor will not seat completely.
