Is any one familiar with the procedure to replace the seal? There is engine oil inside of distributor and cap.

It's really easy. Remove the 3 bolts holding the distributor to the head.

As you pull it off, you'll see a rubber o-ring that goes over the "sensor". Replace that o-ring

Shouldn't take any longer than 10 minutes. Yeah, if there is oil inside of your distributor and cap, not only is it bad, but you should get a new cap, new rotor, and new seal.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply.

I know how to replace the cap and rotor. However I don't know how to replace the seal you were talking about? Where is the seal? Is it different from the O Ring? Thanks for any help.

According to the previous reply from "beak", they are different. o-ring is outside of distributor but seal is inside around bearings. I am not sure. My problem is that engine oil is leaking from inside of distributor. Please help. Thanks.
