Sorry man, But I'm having trouble reading your post.


Judging by your post, if the disty part is broken, the only real way is to replace the disty (jump in if I'm wrong!). If its the cap...thats easy!

Just remove the two 10mm (Or maybe 8mm?) and with a little bit of effort, that cap will be wiggle out. Its not as bad as it looks. Just make sure to keep track of what spark plug wire is what. If not, just untangle and look up a firing order for the 2.9, lol.

The rotor itself clips into the whole on the distributor. Hope this helps!
