4-cylinder carburetor engine
1. The distributor installed on the engine must be reinstalled in its original position after removal. To do this, mark all the parts in a way that is understandable to you and, without turning the engine, install the ignition distributor so that the leash engages in the same position.
2. The ignition distributor is installed on the side of the engine. Remove the distributor as follows:
3. Disconnect the battery.
4. Disconnect the high-tension wire from the distributor cap, or remove the distributor cap spring clips by pressing them away from the cap.
5. Remove the cable from the distributor side.
6. Turn the engine until the piston of the first cylinder is at TDC and mark the position of the tip of the runner on the outside of the distributor cap. To turn, jack up the front wheel, engage fifth gear and rotate the wheel until the dead center is reached.
7. Remove the pressure rail nut at the bottom of the distributor and remove the distributor from the cylinder block.
8. If the distributor does not require repair, install it in the reverse order.
9. Removal or installation of the distributor after engine repair occurs as follows:
10. Set the piston of the first cylinder to TDC, i.e. both valves should be closed, or crank the engine until the ignition timing indicator signals that this position has been reached (see chapter 8.2).
11. Position the tip of the runner straight against the mark on the distributor cap.
12. Check the position of the oil pump drive gear. The groove of the distributor driver should be at a certain angle relative to the center line of both distributor screw holes, (see illustration 2.12).
2.12 The groove on the drive shaft before installing the distributor must be as shown in the figure
13. Install the distributor in this position and make sure that the tip of the runner is against the mark. Otherwise, check the TDC position again. Secure the distributor.
14. Reconnect all cables. The illustration on the right shows the wiring diagram for a carburetor engine.

15. Finally, check the ignition timing.

16. The sole function of the fuel injected engine distributor is to distribute voltage to the spark plugs in the firing order.
17. As shown in Illustration 2.14, the distributor is mounted on the rear of the engine. The distributor rotor and the cover separating the breaker from the distributor can be replaced. Connect the cables to the spark plugs as shown in Illustration 2.14 on the left. The ignition timing is determined electronically and cannot be adjusted.
V6 Engine
18. The shape of the ignition distributor differs from the well-known one, since it is an ignition distributor with an igniting spark. Under the cover (closed with a spring clamp), there is a cover separating the breaker from the ignition distributor (fastened with 3 bolts) and the distributor runner (fastened with 3 bolts) (see illustration). The insulating block is installed with a sealing ring.

The distributor rotor must be installed carefully. No adjustments are allowed.
The distributor contains contacts and brushes that can wear out, i.e. malfunctions in the ignition system can occur due to a violation of the resistance in the ignition distributor rotor. To eliminate the malfunction, contact a car repair shop.
