==Overview== This is a tutorial on distributor installation that will work for many engines including the small block and big block Chevy. This is an important step when breaking in a new flat tappet cam, because you want the engine to fire up '''immediately''', so as to not wipe off all the cam lube that was applied... you DID remember to apply moly cam lube to the lobes and bottoms of the lifters, right?? Not using cam lube and having to crank the engine excessively to get it to start up the first time can cause the cam to fail within the first few minutes of running. Correctly installing the distributor and setting the timing to allow a quick start up is the aim of this article.
