  Q: How do I remove and install a distributor on Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A: To remove the distributor, start by unplugging the primary lead from the coil and the electrical connector for the module. Then, remove the distributor cap and locate the raised "1" on the cap, which marks the position of the number one cylinder spark plug wire terminal. Turn the engine over until the rotor is pointing towards the number one spark plug terminal and make a mark on the distributor base below the rotor tip. Remove the distributor hold-down bolt and clamp, and carefully pull the distributor straight up. To install the distributor, insert it back into the engine in the same position it was in before removal, ensuring that the alignment marks on the distributor base and block match. If necessary, slightly turn the rotor to mesh the helical gears. Place the hold-down clamp and loosely install the bolt, then tighten the distributor cap screws securely. Plug in the module electrical connector, reattach the spark plug wires, and connect the Battery Cable to the negative terminal. Finally, check and adjust the ignition timing if needed, and tighten the distributor hold-down bolt securely.
