Lumpy

Oooo ya thank's I'll have to add it.



Vacuum hoses suck!!!


Hahahahahaha that was funny!!!

If you follow the diagram you should be just fine.

OK...i have the laptop in the garage now....i'm gonna mess with the ditributor cap........take the cap off right????

Lumpy

Ummm yepper

92 TOY

gonna say the answer is yes....and about 20 dead spiders fell out....they know i hate spiders!!!

anyway , i have to read the books and stuff, but the ditributor has a tooth marked....i assume this is the one to line up?


PS...can't download pics to this laptop....LUMPY...you have to work on that for me.

Hey 92,

What I did was slide the rotor about 1/4 of the way to the right of #1, the as I slid it in, the gear turned the distrib. back to where the rotor back-clicked right to #1.

Hope that's helpful, but it probably sounds more like "goo goo ga ga, blah blah", hahaha. Sorry, I'm not always the best with these terminologies.

GOOD ON YA!

Lumpy

I think (memory going a bit) if you have the rotor about 9:00 when installing the distributer it will turn clockwise to about 11:00 where it should for for TDC. "I think"

92 TOY

OK....i'm back up on the big computer.....Hayne's manual was worthless.

Now...what do i know, but do all distributors have this little nub sticking out?...does that denote something as far as where it should lie with the gear from the cam?

92 TOY

do ya see the nub? in the bottom pic...am i good? or am i off?

92 TOY

stole this pic searching...

NOT MINE




This is mine

PismoJoe

the rotor is pointing in the right direction, but is that a used rotor 92??? I'm emotional now....

92 TOY

OK...yes it's the one that was on it.

am i in the right spot....is that tooth supposed to fall just where it is?

Looks right to me, but get a new cap & rotor for crying out loud. O & some new plugs & wires too!

I presume you made sure the engine is at TDC on #1's compression stroke. If it's not you'll be 180 degrees off.

My 22R distributor doesn't have that nub. It's hard to tell from pictures, but your rotor position looks about right. You could try holding the dist cap in position and eyeball whether the rotor points at #1.

Looks like your rotor is getting tired.

92 TOY

so these 2 pics look right??????????

The o-ring that seals your distributor cap is missing a chunk. They are a couple bucks from Toyota. Might be able to find one the right size locally.

Sure do!

That housing at 10-oclock, when you put the cap on, you'll see it's a perfect line up for the #1,.......although, yours being a 92, it's a lil diff than mine. That looks right to me,......but remember, ....IT'S ME! lol.

Put a little grease on the distibutor drive gear
