delco1946 Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Thanks Jim! I love how none of these parts are easily visible or accessible. Sigh. Is this the distributor bolt to loosen? Balancer isn’t even visible from the top 🫠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat in tn Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Ope! Looks like someone marked something! I’ll look underside to see if I can find other marks! yes, that is the hold down and bolt. it is 1/2" bolt. this is precisely what the dist offset wrench was designed for. however, I always use a box wrench. only loosen enough to turn the dist. if needed back out the bolt til the hold down is loose and move the dist back and forth then "snug" the bolt down to give it enough drag to stay where you put it. of course, mark it in some way beforehand so you will see exactly where you started from. visibility to the damper and timing pointer should be visible through a very narrow view looking between the water pump pulley and the alternator. it is crowded for sure, but the hardest part is shining the timing light through the same line of sight that you need to look through.
