'Dis ... (NOW BOOST PROBLEMS)

[Chewy4000 at aol.com]

Instead of using the chisel method I just pealed the cover back to gain access to that one bolt holding down the distributor.
Make not of everything so you don't need to time it again.
I replaced mine fairly quick, just some bruised ribs from leaning on the engine to reach the bolt.

But worth the work, cause THEN CAME FULL BOOST.
