How to install a distributor in a small block chevy the easy way.

[@workhorse401]

Six years later and this is still the best and quickest install video year. No effin around. Cheers man….

[@atVVV1]

why can't the best video on a subject be the top result? I had to watch so many other BS vids before this one. this is gold

[@scottsinfl]

Thanks I think its starting to rise to the top I have a lot of views on this vid.

[@dtorr222]

This is definitly not the best video on this it is very difficult to get your oil pump shaft clocked in the car there is a much better video on this you don't need to waste your time with that shaft al all here it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWW6g39rZph6rpY this one makes the one your watching now obsolete

[@buckley94thmp]

@@scottsinfl thanks scott. I used this technique twice in the past month and it saved me a lot of time and heartache.

[@louphi34]

👍🏾

[@rkelltodd]

I totally agree... Great video!!!

[@SeanVinson-m4j]

This video was the best one to help you get your distributor stabbed in and motor running great!!! I spent hours finding the compression stroke, marking the harmonic balancer, finding 11 and 5 on the oil pump. My truck started the first time and never ran better!!!

[@scottsinfl]

Thanks

[@buddyb418]

I must have watched 50 videos on how to do it. Every time I would try to stab it and get it to point at number one on top dead center, It would either be pointing to number 3 or 5. or at my thermostat housing LOl. The oil pump drive thing is pure brilliance... Thank you, sir. This video got you a new subscriber 😊

[@scottsinfl]

Thank you Buddy

[@Faith0929ROK]

Holy crap, easiest and simple correct way to install a new dizzy. Lots of people get lost on oil pump part and 11 and 5 and number two bolt on intake to line the rotor is excellent point! Thank you p, you rock!

[@andrewlindberg3061]

Wish I would have started with this guy first!!! So simple and quick. Thx a bunch!

[@scottsinfl]

Your welcome thanks for watching.

[@BrianMcCleery1]

Total success on my 1970 C10: started first time! I've never installed a distributor before and also my first time working on any Chevy product. Bravo!

[@SchneiderClassics]

haha in the same boat. installed tonight on my 67 c10

[@scottsinfl]

I tried to make a video to show how easy it can be if someone shows a straightforward video of how it's done. I use to work in a corvette shop and did a bunch of sbc rebuilds so I have done a bunch over the years.

[@MrPhord]

Definitely the best video I’ve ever seen on the subject of installing a distributor in an chevy . I wish I’d seen this 40 yrs ago

[@scottsinfl]

Well, thank you Bob I have been doing it this way for at least 40 years. I was building corvette motors when was 15 and wanted a quick and easy way to use markings on a motor to align things up. Its helped a lot of folks so far and I'm glad I shared this info.

[@tristonmurdock4586]

Good stuff, after rebuilding half of this 305 and not getting spark I really wasn't looking forward to the hassle but you my friend are doing god's work 😂

[@scottsinfl]

I hope it helped. Thanks for watching.

[@michaelkedrowski3155]

I looked at all the other "showy" versions. Too many tools or vague instructions. This one is PERFECT. Very understandable and EASY instructions. Gave me the confidence to swap distributors in my '72 GMC pickup. THANK YOU!

[@scottsinfl]

You're welcome!

[@alexisdickerson9495]

Thanks for the tip I have been working on small block chevys for 65 years and always had to fool around with the distributor to get it in this works like a charm so easy

[@scottsinfl]

I was doing so many vette motors in the 80's that I came up with this method and have used it ever since. I'm happy it worked good for you.

[@RPTBABY]

Best tutorial video on KZbin. All my Chevy Small Blocks have started the first time with this method. I can pull a distributor, and install one in minutes.

[@scottsinfl]

Thanks Im glad it works good for you. I was building so many it just made it so easy to spin it to tdc #1 align up the oil pump shaft point it to the bolt and drop it in.

[@2TiZiK]

I’ll comment before attempting the install. Have never installed one before and your video is very clear and straightforward. I’ll comment again after doing the install to confirm just how easy you make it look. Cheers 🍻

[@scottsinfl]

Cool yes let me know how easy it was. Thanks

[@2TiZiK]

@@scottsinfl forgot to to come back but yes! It was super easy. Took me a couple attempts as I didn’t have the oil pump shaft lined up correctly but the nice it was, dropped right in.

[@scottsinfl]

@@2TiZiK Awesome I like hearing that. Thanks for the feedback.

[@mattwoolery2369]

I ground the gears off of an old distributor shaft and hook it to a drill and use it to prime the motor with oil. I also use it to line up the oil pump shaft. Thanks for the great video.

[@thomasleffew2196]

I used your method and the motor started right up and the timing was even close. Thanks for the video.

It had been decades since I last installed a SBC distributor. I did a search for a quick refresher as I was setting up a new motor for its first start today. Your video was one of the first hits and is perfectly simple and clear. Thanks!

[@mr.mcallister6502]

Man your a genius. I changed the intake manifold on my classic car and could not get the distributor to drop in at my marks. Your excellent video did the trick. Dropped it in and pointing on the number one cylinder. Thanks for the help.

[@scottsinfl]

Cool glad it helped.

[@jackleary6246]

Normally, these how to videos for old small blocks are filmed so incredibly poorly, and the synopsis is “just do it right it’ll be fine”- this was super informative, and I can actually see what you were doing. Many thanks bossman

[@scottsinfl]

Thank you, I'm glad to try and help folks if I can. It can be hard for some folks to do a distributor in an old school small block chevy so I tried to make it the easiest I could.

Thanks for getting straight to the point. No long intro are BS I don’t care about. Made since that’s all I was looking for. Thank you

[@munster2172]

I never comment on videos but you are awesome my man! I have dropped that distributor in 10 times and each time missed it. Your tips hooked me up first time and I appreciate it big time. As you know this can be the most frustrating thing...especially when it’s on a 67 Camaro where the wires and cap have to come off to get the distributor out. Sincerely...thank you.

[@scottsinfl]

Awesome I'm glad it helped.

[@Italian84Z28]

Thank you so much for this video, my father and I were doing everything we could to find the timing. We’ve been doing it wrong the entire time. Decided to do this while he was at work. First engine build at 18 and it fired up instantly. Adjusted to advancement. Thing runs amazing

[@scottsinfl]

Awesome its a good feeling when they first start up and even feels better when you can take a complicated part of the job and make it easy. Glad it helped you out its helped so many folks.

[@michaelfoxworthy3213]

My Man!!! I struggled with the oil pump part for 2 hours. The engine is in the truck, and it's a K10 4X4. I'm doing this all alone, on top of it all. Finding TDC was a mother, but I finally figured out that if I just stick a rubber cap into the spark plug hole then use a breaker bar to turn the engine, the compression stroke will pop the rubber cap out of the hole. Then I just followed the rest of your video, FIRST CRANK, she started right up. Just a few degrees of time to adjust, and then she ran like a kitten. THANKS!

[@scottsinfl]

Im happy it worked good for you Michael this has been my most watched video and the kindest folks have left some great comments.

Wow, That makes it simple. Thanks , I will do it that way forever. I have a 66 corvette and I worry about leaning on the fenders to keep turning the oil pump rod.

[@scottsinfl]

If you use your tach drive distributor the c3's have to be 1 tooth counter clockwise or I have found it to bind the tach drive cable and it will wear them out or cause them to get hot and break. Not sure on the mid years I think they give an extra inch or 2 clearance on the firewall so you should be good.

[@1harleyvette]

@@scottsinfl Fortunately I have plenty of room for the tach drive . Thank You

[@scottsinfl]

@@1harleyvette Then your good my 73 has to be 1 off or it puts a bind in the cable. I thought the 64 I had there was more room.

Yes you can just remember the location the rotor is pointing at after its installed is the #1 position and its is where you start your wire fire order. 18436572 clockwise.

[@pl7868]

most of the time for my daily drivers i put dist in an where ever rotor is pointing is nos 1 an time by ear , having said that with cams and compression you need timing marks on the side of the balancer timing light is using so good job lol :) doing it your correct way is easy and should be followed , if you know your motor and are lazy or looking at an unknown motor and checking that atleast the firing order an timing is close so the problem isn't there my way works to but its really wrong , good video

[@snakeeyez4028]

Thank u. My brother gave me his 1980 Chevy c30 1 ton. On truck says 4.1. I believe it's a v6. The engine that's in there is a small block v8. Don't know if it's a 5.2 or what. But it has the same distributor. The engine doesn't run. So I tested the compression. Getting compression. I removed the cap. Jump started from the starter. The rotor doesn't turn. When I removed the distributor from engine. Turn it freely by hand. Turns freely. Before I did all of that. The distributor looks brand new. I found out several spark cables were in wrong. So I replaced them in order. Driver 1357 passenger 2468. Then I recorrect the cables on the distributor. 18436572 clockwise. Then I did a spark test. No spark. So when I removed the cap. And all jump start the truck. To watch the rotor to turn. Does not turn. Is that because the timing is off? Where 1 is not at TDC. To be marked at 0. And the rotor was not at 11 o'clock and 5 o'clock psosition. And distributor pointing same direction your showing. Or can it be because the oil pump where the shaft is? Good sign block is not locked. Where should I start? I could not find the markings on the block and harmonic balancer. I do know when piston goes down. Builds up compression. Then goes up releases it. I removed sparkplug from 1. Held my finger over the hole. Then I jump started the truck again. To feel the pressure. As it released the pressure. I took screw driver insert it into the spark plug hole. Felt the piston. But not fully sure is at fully TDC. One way for me to find out. Is by removing the head cover. Then turn the crank clockwise. To watch the spring go up and down. I know if it's all the way up. Then the piston is up. I also know the marking on the crank harmonic balancer. Has to be at 0. Does that mean if the timing is off. It could cause no spark? Or doesn't let the rotor to turn?

[@scottsinfl]

If that dist. didnt turn when you jumped the starter then the timing chain or top timing gear is broke. Im sure you have fixed by now or found what the problem is.

[@HeyLanny]

A really good job with a very clear video and greatly appreciated. You did a great job as a professional.

[@CraigSmith568]

Thanks for this. I removed my distributor and knew to put it on TDC compression stroke before, but when I went to reinstall it wasn't going all the way in. It would go in one tooth off, so I just need to adjust my oil pump drive.

[@scottsinfl]

Yes if the pumps not aligned it won't drop in that last 3/8 of an inch.

[@CraigSmith568]

After watching this I went out and lined up the oil pump where you said and it dropped in first try.

[@vanmcdowell6671]

Awesome and VERY helpful! I'm about to replace the points distributor in my '70 Corvette with an HEI like this one. My Corvette has a tach-drive distributor and just got to figure out now how to connect the power wires to the HEI. Have read many different opinions on how to do that part...some say I must add a relay, others say I don't so still confused about the power wiring. Thanks so much for this helpful video!! Top notch and I will follow your instructions on the installation.

[@scottsinfl]

I think the 70 vette used a ballast wire that dropped the volts on the coil to 9volts it will have a braded like wire case on the outside and the HEI needs 12V is why they want you to run a relay. The relay just is used as a trigger with the stock hot wire and you get 12v from a good 12v source through the relay to run the HEI. I hope that helps you know why they want you to use the relay. I ran a wire straight from my ign. switch threw my wiper door cut-out knob for a theft-deterrent but I have a 73 front end so didn't need the wiper door cut out with no wiper door now.

2 things. 1. It looks like the “11&5” position is the same as saying, “Point the oil shaft alley towards #1 on the front passenger side. 2. It also seems like the rotor position lines up exactly with the oil shaft rod on the bottom of he distributor which would mean it is an industry standard model. Just something I noticed, but worth pointing out.

This is just what these hands needed. I had to line up an HEI type but it was easy,thanks to this video!

[@johnmilner7603]

If you have a points distributor you need to set the balancer to at least 8* BTDC on the timing tab rather than 0 or else you will hit the intake with the vacuum pod if your initial timing is set at 14*. If you want the timing higher then you won’t be able to set it if you dropped the distributor in at TDC on #1 comp with the balancer at 0 on the timing tab. Restab it at TDC like you would normally but first move the balancer to 10* BTDC and the rotor still pointing to #1 plug wire distributor cap post.

[@vicswanby454]

[@martystevens3969]

You get #1 TDC on comp. stroke on 0. Use an oil pump pump primer shaft to line up the distributor to the oil pump shaft. It doesn't matter. Point the rotor at #1 terminal on the cap. Turn the distributor way back opposite normal rotation and then install it. Then adjust for normal setting. Turn the crank ONLY in normal rotation direction. This causes the chain to be tight.

[@scottsinfl]

The reason why I install it this way is that most of the time Im starting a rebuilt motor and want it to start in the first turn or 2. I dont want to be turning the motor and wiping the break-in lube off the camshaft to line up the oil pump drive even if its 1 turn. Thanks for watching.

Yeppers good job just watched your vid to verify I'm doing it right, works every time, and I would add just put a wire on number one set the crank on 10` btdc with ignition on rotate slowly till it fires number one and lock her down , your timed at 10 degrees before tdc and she will run like a top

Thank you. Education and assistance…done the right way.

I was making this video for a friend that had never stabed a distributor before and had to make it easy to understand. Thanks

Just did one on a 88 caprice 305 I didn’t set it to tdc before I dropped it in but is dropped right in should I take it back out and start over

[@scottsinfl]

Yes, it has to be TDC on the compression stroke of cylinder #1. and do it just like this vid and your good.

Thank you very much. You made this so easy!!!! Today I can finally take my 1963 StingRay out for a ride. Your the best, fo get the rest!

Great, I'm glad it helped. I had to put my dist. in my 73 vette 1 tooth counterclockwise to make the tach drive cable angle just right so it wouldn't bind. I think the midyear didn't have that problem so much that is only if you're using a tach drive dist still.
