    2. NOTE: If camshaft position sensor electrical connector is not positioned properly, DO NOT reposition the connector by rotating the synchronizer assembly. This will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage. Remove the synchronizer assembly and repeat this step.
  2. Install synchronizer assembly into engine. Ensure synchro positioner is pointing directly forward (parallel to crankshaft centerline). See Fig 2 . Synchronizer electrical connector should be located in original position.
  3. Install hold-down clamp and tighten bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Install CMP sensor to synchronizer and tighten to specification. Reconnect wiring to CMP sensor. Connect negative battery cable.
