This video is the new standard by which I will judge how-to videos. Great job, thank you!

Fought with timing for several hours last night, watched this video, followed his tips and had truck running in about 20 mins. Listen to this guy, he knows his stuff!

This man is the only person that’s spitting facts on YouTube in this subject. Take notes y’all. I got everything dialed in first try. Thanks man

Followed these directions, and successfully replaced a worn out unit without any problems.
Great video. Thanks

Thank you for this! After replacing the head gaskets on my Chevy I wasn't able to start it and it would sound like a 9mm went off half the time I cranked it. This gave me the knowledge to figure out the timing and get it running. Never knew the distributor needed to be adjusted. The guy didn't really mention this with in the 1A auto video I watched. Again thank you I am going to keep my truck now.

I’m replacing lower intake manifold gasket and found this video — best and most useful video I’ve seen.

Thank you

Hey, thanks...you've demystified the distributor...I am a liver transplant doctor and now I can also transplant a distributor...great video!

Very informative .I don`t think you can go wrong with the timing after watching this video.

I don't know if you can see this comment a year and a half later, but you have literally saved my a**. I had to change the distributor in a 97 k1500, and for the life of me, could not figure out what I did wrong. Now I know when I go back to it in the morning, exactly what to do. This was a great video. Thank you so much.

Had to replace my lifters and pushrods in my motorhome. Ended up doing it myself as I discovered no shop will touch a motorhome engine. Your vid gave me the confidence to do it myself. Just finished today and this vid was a great help. The motorhome started right up!
Thank you so much.

Thanks for the video!! I was a hair off time, wouldn’t quite start. Your method of lining up the rotor mount with the distributor housing worked, she fired right up!

[luismrodriguez]

This is by far the best technical explanation that is not from a GM mechanical engineer. His calm voice simply indicates " I got this"
This is the type of technician that I would've paid top dollars to work in my shop. With this guy on board quality workmanship
And customers satisfaction are simply guaranteed. Thank you for your video. Congratulations .you get five stars from me

Ordered, plugs, wires, distributor, and have no idea what I'm doing. But week I'll be watching this. Your very technical with what is going on and what each movmrnt does. This saves me the shop fee 🙏🤘🔨🛠

[bullnibler]

I have been fighting with mine for months lining it up the wrong way, the way you said to do it made it much easier where i can actually understand. Thank you

[dbrosco]

By far the best video on this. Big fan of the "my buddy teaching me" style. No bs. Keep them coming.

Thank you for the details this helped me a lot in my first time installing a new distributor. In reference to the old hold down clamp with and aftermarket distributor, I realized the clamp that came with my summit distributor did not allow me to rotate the distributor to make adjustments with the scan tool after it was all back together. I had to take everything back off and use the old clamp that let me finish the job. Just wanted to throw that in here in case some one was in my position and can avoid doing more work than necessary. Thanks for the video!

The best video I have ever seen on how to install the distributor on my truck . I just need to put it on the correct timing but I will save this video for future reference when I install a new one later on . You are the perfect instructor for this job cause you cover all the details very specifically . Thank you very much my brother for doing it for us. God keep blessing you . 👍🍺

[JonathandanielSchenk]

Thank you so much for making this very helpful and efficient video. Really appreciate you taking the time to explain things in great detail as well as great camera footage. Thanks a lot!

Bubba.... I would give you a hug right now if I could! It shows that you have taken the time to actually look at every aspect of this part from different angles and come up with every solution. I had to turn my oil pump shaft just a tad, but It sat down in there no problem. Put the new plugs and wires in and PRAYED! It fired right up with no code! First time I have not seen it on my scan since I got it in 2017. Keep up the good work bubba!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR Man I beat my head against the wall for days with a no-starting ‘98 Chevy. Watched so many videos on this! Your vid saved me!! Took me 15 mins to do what you said and she now starts and runs like a dream! If there was one vid I wish I would’ve watched on my engine swap it’s this one. Thanks again!!!
