Solenoid Plunger Inspection
Check the contact points and the face of the staner sole-noid plunger for burning, pitting or any other defects. lfsurfacas are rough, recondition them with a strio of# 500 or #600 sandpaper.

Starter Reassembly
R€assemble the starter in the reverse order of disas-sembly.
1. Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, thonposition the brush about halfway out of its holder,
and release the spring to hold it there.
2. Instsll the armature in the housing. Next pry back
each brush spring again and push the brush down
until it seats against the commutator, then release
the spring against the end of the brush.

Performance Test
NOTE: Before staning the tollowing checks. disconnect
the wire Jrom te.minal M, and make a connection as
described below using as heavy a wire as possible {prefer-
ably equivalent to the wire used for the car).
Pull-in Coil Tasl:
Connect the batterv as shown. It the starter pinion pops
out, it is working properly.
GAUTION: Do not leavo the battery connectod for mora
than 10 seconds.
Hold-in Coil Tost:
Disconnect the battetv from the M terminal. lf the pin-
ion does not retract, the hold-in coilis working properly.
CAUTION: Do not l6ave tho battory Gonnected for moro
than 10 soconds.

Rotracting Test:
Disconnect the battery negative cable. ll the pinion
retracts immediately, it is working properly.
NOTE: Do not leave the battery connected tor more than
1O seconds.
Startoi Noioad Test:
1, Clamp the starte. firmly in a vise.
2, Connect the starter to the battery as shown and con-
tirm that the motor starts 8nd keeps rotating.
It the electric current and motor speed meet the
sDecifications when the battery voltage is at 11 V,
the staner is working properly.

lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,00O rpm with
no load (A/T in S or E position, M/T in neutral) until
the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Pull out the service check connector located behind
the right kick panel. Connect the BRN/WHT and BLK
terminals with the SCS short connector.
4. Adiust ignition timing, if necessary, to the follow-
ing specifications:
lgnition Timing:
16 t 2 BTDC (RED) at 75O 1 50 rpm in noutral
NOTE:
a Shift lever must be in neutral.

mounting bolts, and turn the distributor housing
counterclockwise to advance the timing, or clock-
wise to retard the timing.

Distributor Installation
Coat a new O-ring with engine oil, then install it.
Slip the distributor into position.
NOTE: The lugs on the end of the distributor and
its mating grooves in the camshaft end are both off-
set to eliminate the possibility ot installing the dis-
tributor 18Oo out of time.
