thanks should i go ahead and replace the whole distributor?

Joel5.0

A remanufactured unit is a better alternative, the vanes rotor may also be damaged.

KBRIGGS95

is a distributor hard to replace, will it require any timing ?

rmodel65

its one bolt at the base of it...but you just have to make sure that you have it set to Top Dead Center so you can install the new dizzy in the correct orientation

KBRIGGS95

how would i avoid that? is that something i can just a mark off then replace where that mark is?

mattdel

yup. mark the position of the base of the dizzy, and make another mark where the rotor is. be mindful that the rotor will spin clockwise as it meshes with the cam.
