Changing Distributor Cap and Rotor Chevrolet Truck GMC 350, 305 How to 

Did the plugs on my 95 C1500 5.7L today, then went to do the cap and rotor but the rotor is fully stuck on there. Right pain in the ass while on your hands and knees in the engine bay trying to get that rotor out without damaging anything. Thanks for the video, I'll have another go at getting it out how you did it. Cheers mate.

thank you very much!!!!

Next..show exactly how you took cap off...that's what I was looking for lol..

Thank you very much for indicating which post on the cap is number one . Did what you did plus I changed the wires. Five of the eight wires were burned through at the plug boots. Heat shields long gone on 1992 k2500 King cab. Hoping you can help with this one: running okay but would occasionally quit in full flight on a flat at about 45 mph. Had changed out battery last year and one of the ground wires was loose on the battery (now). Pulled the battery for a few days and trickle charged it, redid the wire. Decided to get fancy and did cap rotor and wires and was very appreciative of your solution with the stuck rotor which I also had. I know the wires and the firing order are good, but now the truck runs very rough like it's out of order and stalls in the driveway. Shaking so hard I'm afraid the exhaust will fall out the bottom. Not drivable. ODB1 way too expensive. Was wondering if the battery being out that long confused the computer? Going to borrow a light and check initial timing with the harness from the computer unplugged. Any other thoughts? The damn thing was running okay with five bad wires and now it runs for squat. Truck is strictly dump and Depot. 300 mi a year for the last 5 years. TIA and thanks again for the info about the cap. Ps -not stolen valor. This is my father's 10th mountain division uniform from WW2. He's still around. I borrowed it for a costume party and the women.

does this work for a 1988 silverado

The green and white cable at 3:43 on the distributor, can that be replaced ? I noticed mine was cracked

Will the truck rumble and start shutting down if the distributor wires are loose

Can u please do a video how to find tdc I did mine and it's out of time. And I got the firing order right

I have a 95 suburban 5.7 it's been sitting for about 6months could this be my problem I won't start

Will this cause a ticking sound when you press on the gas

I'm having the same problem I literally replace my cap and rotor and it won't start now and I can get it to pump but then nothing happens and my cap and rotor with stuck on like that I had to literally wrench it Off

What's the peice under the star called it's a magnetic ring mine is in pieces when I went to take a look under the rotor

I got an 89 350 chevy silverado

I just pull it upward with some elbow and comes off

I know this is old, but why do you think this could be? The truck runs great at higher RPMs but wants to die at stop. This happens in park as well sometimes. 1992 GMC Sierra 350

Ok so ive just changed mine but forgot to mark them an my dumbass cant seem to figure out how to put them in correct order from spark plug to the rotator cap. Any help would be much appreciated.

There is a split in the shaft;you don't show how that split aligns according to the button. That's what I was looking for.

I used a pickle fork came off in 10 seconds

thanks for the vid on the diy shop tried to fuck me out my money Im having spark plug issues they told me its my transmission

I had to BREAK my distributor rotor, the rotor shaft was extremely rusty, so the rotor was fused together. I applied some vaseline to the distributor shaft to make the installation of the new rotor easier.

that looks like way too much play you should replace the whole thing.

That don't look like a damn distributor cap!!
