    You don’t have to drop the entire distributor, just the bottom part. It’s held on by four vertical bolts that are accessed from the top. This is pretty easy if you have a 1/4" socket set, 6" extension and a 1/4" flexible joint. It is worth the effort. A Mercury factory tech rep showed me that in 1975; and at that time, HE was an old guy.

    Long live American manufacturing!
