Is there a trick to installing the distributor parts? Not much room between back of radiator and distributor.

Jeff..... ...every newbie gets bit by the same situatition. (grin)

Believe it or not, 2 bolts and you take the distributor off and out the tractor to the workbench and replace and time the points per the I&T FO-4 manual. (how-to picture is worth 1000 words)

The distributor drive is "offset" so it only fits one way (unless you use a really big hammer)..... ...Dell

2 1/2 inch hex head bolts and the distributor is in your hand.
Note rotor direction and replace in the same direction.
Tang on the rear of distributor is offset to make incorrect replacement REALLY difficult.

Get yourself an I&T FO-4 shop manual.
Will save you the $30 it costs in frustration, confusion and time the first time you read it...

I think 7/16 wrench will work better, but I have been wrong before .
