I've searched this topic for days and I'm still a little confused as to how to go about doing this job. The motor is the factory L24 and it is in the car and running. I'm not sure what to do with the distributor timing. Some sources say the distributor needs to come out, others say just take the cap off and hold the rotor from turning.

If there's anyone who's done this job, can you please give me a step by step of how you did this.

Do you have a FSM? That gives the exact things you MUST do to ensure accurate installation.
