this is a 98 4.0
is it really necessary to get the dist to TDC to install the distributor? wouldn't i be able to just note the postion of the rotor on the dist with measurements from the engine block or something?
from what i understand the distibutor housing is notched or something, so i should not have to dial that in correct?
any other hints? just ordered the part, should be here in about 5 days.
im replacing it b/c i think it might be bent or something? i can feel the dist hitting the cap and it makes a loud ticking sound. i replaced the plugs, cap and rotor already
