The paper work is filled out. Dropped her down to the floor today after a belt job
Is it just me or is getting the lower distributor fastener hooked a pain? I must have monkeyed around for an hour the other day before I got it hooked. I wound up using a piece of thin wood to pry against the headlight pushing the screw in against the spring pressure and turning.

i made a tool for the dizzy screws "special tool 9223489482493" by taking a 6" flat blade screwdriver, heating the shaft and bending 90 degrees at the middle.

so you engage the slot on the screw but the handle of the screwdriver is perpendicular to the screw so you are moving it like you would a breaker bar handle, nothing in the way there.

Thanks Spencer, next time I'll take the torch to one of my odd screwdrivers. Nothing I made up with sockets and screwdriver bits allowed enough force to be applied. I forget what I used before but I know it didn't give me this much trouble.

I just use a regular stubby with a wide flathead and use it like a normal screwdriver.

Ditto. Works perfectly.

Same here. Once you do it a few times it gets pretty easy. Swearing helps.

Trust me Kyle, I tried that The handles on all my stubbies were too short to allow a good grip I couldn't remember what I used before

I use a bent screw driver like Spencer. It also helps to remember it's counter clockwise to lock.

What? Righty-tighty doesn't rhyme in German?
