Could be worse. Not all that long ago, I was afraid to take off my TFI distributor cap to see if there was moisture inside, becuase I thought it might mess with the timing!
I don't have a clue what that means I know what the distributor is/looks like, but....

The short of it is that the distributor cap is very easy to remove and replace without incident, because it's just held on by a couple big clips and has a notch in the rim that makes it impossible to reinstall in the wrong position. Actually swapping caps takes a little more care because you have to make sure the wires stay in the correct order.

don't wanna start a new thread just for this, but, is it normal for mileage to slightly improve? i'm talking very slightly..1mpg better maybe. if that.

Also: This should be inspirational to folks that didn't think they could do something like swap alternators...if an imbecile like myself can do it, anybody can! I can't believe I was so scared to do something so simple.
Some people have what it takes and they just dont know it
