Thank you for your help. I pulled the distributor with ease and put the seal on where ironically there was none! I have a few post-install questions for you. The space is too narrow for a torque wrench. Therefore, I attempted to slowly tighten with a wrench.
1. Would 14-16 ft/lbs be considered very tight, moderately loose?
2. Did you use an adapter to get the torque wrench to fit?
3. I heard a few snap sounds as I slowly turned the wrench. I removed the bolt back out, no broken threads. When I put it back in I heard a few scrapes and may have broken a few threads. Does that sound likely? I hardly felt any resistance on the bolt as I turned it. It certainly was not any where near the force required removing it.
4. If there are broken threads is that sealed from the valves or do I run the risk of shavings dropping into the engine?
Thank you in advance for your help. Your suggestions have been quite helpful!
