It is easy to pull the distributor. the hard part is getting it back correctly. The engine should be retimed whenever the points are changed. Any change in gap affects the timing. If your loader setup is like mine on my I2444 you really have to be a contortionist to even see the points. I always remove the distributor and replace them on the bench. Locate the timing marks and turn the engine until they line up. (It realy does not make any difference if it on #1 or # 4 as long as you keep track of which one it is when you remove the distributor.) Remove the distributor cap and note where the rotor is pointing. You will need to reinstall the distributor with rotor pointing in same direction. Remove the tachourmeter drive cable. Remove the primary wire. Remove the two bolts and clamps. Slide the distributor out. To install, point the rotor the same as it was when you removed it. The primary wire connector should point out away from the engine block. Loosely install the two bolts with clamps. Install the primary wire. Turn the distribtor clockwise until the primary connector is is down at about 45 degrees. Install the coil wire in the coil and hold the other end about 1/2" away from a good ground. Turn on the ignition switch. Rotate the distributor counterclockwise until you just get a spark. Repeat as necessary until you stop rotating just when you get the spark. Snug the clamps in this position.You should be within a degree or two of the correct timing when the engine is running. Finish assembling and recheck with a timing light.
