Re: Distributor removal 115C

I have removed the distributor from my 115C numerous times. Loosening the clamp should allow the distributor to be removed. The clamp and octane adjuster can stay attached to the engine. The distributor shaft is slotted and fits into a tang on the oil pump shaft. The cam drives the pump and the pump drives the distributor. The distributor can come out at any position. The distributor can be installed 180 degree off because the tang and slot are not offset. It does not have to be on No. 1 TDC, but this helps keep things straight. Here are some photos of my clamp and octane adjuster, maybe they will help. Note that I use a longer clamp bolt and a sleeve in order to more easily get to the clamp bolt. My distributor does not have an o-ring, but rather a formed plastic type gasket. An o-ring should work as well. Let us know how your job comes out.

In deleting the duplicate photo, I deleted the photo of the clamp and adjuster on the engine without the distributor. Here it is.
