New Distributor from 1AAuto.com http://1aau.to/ia/1AEDI00040
The ignition distributor manages the timing and firing order of the spark plugs in engines without electronic control, and some early versions of electronically controlled ignition. If the distributor in your car or truck is worn, damaged, or broken, your engine will have difficulty running, or even starting. This video shows you how to install a new distributor on your 1994-2004 Chevy S-10.

How did you come up with the location of your first mark?
I keep wondering y you marked it there. Was it random?
this is so helpful. thanks for the video..
I can’t seem to find my TDC… I took cylinder 1 spark and felt for compression… now what nothing lines up
I didn’t mark the distributor before I pulled it… now I can’t time my truck :/
I have the oil pump alignment issue he speaks of 6:35. Original equipment has a taper (machined not worn) at the end of the shaft, there's does not. Jiggling it doesn't help. Any ideas on how to get this to seat in the proper position?
Make sure you check the distributor connector lol if you can see it, that little cave the distributor is in is almost inaccessible
Is that pin inside the hole supposed to wobble around
What happens when your distributor never line up on the 6 before I pull even at top dead center. I even pull the number one plug to make sure it was on the compression side. Can get it started noe
So that Notch means you only have two positions available for the dist to sit?
Which marking goes to the groove one or two
Seems simple but difficult for a first timer like me
I really wish the Haynes manual had mentioned that there are two marks on the balancer. I aligned the first mark with the notch visible from the top. This explains why the damn thing won’t fire off and sounds out of time (other than the fact it hasn’t ran since I bought it as a project truck).
what is the price to change that part in a s10 2001 ????
I think my pump is misaligned. How do I set that and follow your video?
Watch this video allowed me to properly install my distributor on my 1999 silverado 4.3.
What happens when you tighten the distributor bolt and then it jumps loose.
I’m a makenic now
hOW YOU TAKE OUT THE MOUNTING BOLT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR 1999 CHEVY S-10
I had a PO300 code and threw $2,000 worth of work into my s10 ZR2. I finally cleared the code after installing a new distributor. But now, I have a check engine light for a camshaft to crankshaft position sensor faulty code. Could it be the new camshaft sensor being damaged? I didn't have this code until after the distributor was changed
Came to see what he used to get that mounting bolt out and he skips right over it….
how did you know to put the first mark on the block where you put it? at the 3 minute mark on the video. i don’t understand
These are the best most professional how to auto repair videos out there the tech school's are really hating on you because you leave them in the dust right to the point and outstanding picture quality and some of the best mechanis out there keep up the quilty videos you should done some major repair videos on every vechiel you sell parts for
