Dual Pick-Up Distributor

With coolant temperature switch for advance side disconnected and grounded, timing set to specification and engine idling, check that phase difference is 6 degrees. If not, correct by loosening adjuster plate screws 1/2 to 2 turns. Turn adjuster plate until correct phase angle is obtained. Turning adjusting plate clockwise increases phase angle and clockwise decreases phase angle.

NOTE: Graduations on adjuster plate refer to crankshaft degrees. One graduation equals 4 crankshaft degrees.
