    HOW TO USE:

    1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is turned off and has cooled down completely. Gather the necessary tools, including wrenches and potentially a gear puller if the old gear is difficult to remove.
    2. Locate the Distributor: Identify the distributor on your engine.
    3. Remove the Distributor Cap and Rotor: Carefully remove the distributor cap and set it aside. Then, remove the rotor, noting its orientation for reassembly.
    4. Mark the Distributor Housing: Before removing the distributor, mark its position relative to the intake manifold. This will help with reinstalling the distributor in the correct orientation.
    5. Disconnect Wiring: Disconnect any electrical connectors attached to the distributor.
    6. Remove the Distributor Hold-Down Bolt: Loosen and remove the bolt that secures the distributor to the engine block.
    7. Carefully Remove the Distributor: Gently pull the distributor out of the engine block. Be mindful of the gear meshing with the camshaft.
    8. Remove the Old Distributor Gear: With the distributor removed, locate the distributor gear. Depending on the design, you may need to remove a roll pin to slide the old gear off the distributor shaft.
    9. Install the New FiTech 99806 Gear: Slide the new FiTech 99806 distributor gear onto the distributor shaft. Ensure it is oriented correctly. If a roll pin was removed, reinstall it to secure the new gear.
    10. Reinstall the Distributor: Align the distributor shaft with the oil pump drive and carefully insert the distributor back into the engine block, aligning it with the marks you made earlier.
    11. Reinstall the Hold-Down Bolt: Secure the distributor with the hold-down bolt, but do not tighten it completely yet.
    12. Reinstall the Rotor and Distributor Cap: Place the rotor back onto the distributor shaft, aligning it with the previously noted orientation. Reinstall the distributor cap.
    13. Connect Wiring: Reconnect any electrical connectors to the distributor.
    14. Adjust Timing: Use a timing light to check and adjust the engine timing according to your vehicle's specifications.
    15. Tighten Hold-Down Bolt: Once the timing is correctly set, fully tighten the distributor hold-down bolt.
    16. Final Check: Double-check all connections and ensure everything is securely in place before starting the engine.
