extension length and the torque wrench length
and is calculated by using the formula:

where A is the specified torque loading (Ibf ft or
kgf m), B is the torque to be set, or read, when
using an extension (Ibf ft or kgf m), y is the
length of extension (ft or m), and z is the length
of torque wrench (ft or m).
Example: Specified torque is 60 Ibf ft, length of
extension is 6 in, and length of torque wrench is
2 ft, then B = (60 x 2) = (6/12 + 2) = 120 =2'/z =
48 Ibf ft; torque wrench setting or indication.
When measuring, use centres of bolts/nuts and
centre of torque wrench drive square. When
calculating, keep values constant, that is, don't
mix inches and feet for example (photos). 63 Fit
the drivebelt as described later in this Section.
When fitted, the auxiliary shaft pulley bolt and
the camshaft pulley bolt can be torque loaded to
the specified settings if these were not done on
assembly.
Distributor - refitting
64 The distributor is mounted nearly vertical on
the oil filter side of the engine and is driven by
skew gears from the auxiliary shaft. In turn the
distributor shaft also drives the oil pump through
a splined coupling (photo).
65 It is more convenient to set the contact
breaker gap before fitting the distributor to the
engine. Adjust to the specified clearance
(photo).
66 Turn the crankshaft in the normal direction of
rotation until the line on the crankshaft pulley is
adjacent to the first of the three pointers on the
timing bracket. This is 100 BTDC, the second
pointer is 50 BTDC and the large, third pointer is
TDC. Note which cylinder, either 1 or 4, is on the
compression stroke. This is indicated by both of
the inlet and exhaust cams pointing upwards
causing their relative valves to be shut. 67
Rotate the distributor shaft until the rotor is
opposite the terminal in the distributor cap
serving the same cylinder number as the one
which was on compression stroke and with the
contact breaker points just breaking.
68 Lubricate the distributor skew gear with clean
engine oil and insert the distributor into the
engine block. Watch the rotor carefully to see
how much it turns as the skew gears mesh.
Then withdraw the distributor, reset the rotor and
then preset it the same amount that it turne d
