Hello everyone,
I am about to replace the distributor in my 1.8 year 2000 Accord, since it's leaking oil from the internal oil seal. I was thinking that I would have to adjust the distributor with a timing light in order to adjust the ignition timing. At least that's what is described in the workshop manual.
The problem is that the distributor is mounted with 2 bolts, one going though a oval hole and another tough a round hole. Since one of them is round, I will not be able to rotate the distributor to adjust it.... I haven't yet removed the old one or un-tightened the bolts to check if it rotates...
Can anyone confirm if the distributors on these cars can be adjusted or not?
Here is a picture of the new(2nd hand) distributor that I will install. You can clearly see the round and the oval holes that are used to mount the distributor.
