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

Make sure you start with the engine on the compression stroke of the #1 cylinder and your timing mark on top dead center.

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

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

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

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!!!

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 😂

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!

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

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!

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!

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

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

[jamesh]

This method worked exactly how you explained! Thanks for sharing this tip with all of us! Excellent video

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.

Thank you so much, was too easy, finally got my 68 c20 running like new.

[thomasleffew]

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.mcallister]

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.

Simple and straight to the point! No BS. Thank you!

Thanks my uncle was getting tired of coming out to fix my 180 degree out mistakes...Got tired of getting yelled at...got away with it as a 16 year old but not at 45 ha ha

Thank You very much for your video! I watched it this morning and then installed My Distributor in My 1994 Suburban and it started right up!!
