yes the stock o-ring , is cheap 25cent ring, a viton will last for ever, at a $1
but board behind the distributor before dropping rear cross member or distrub gets busted.

the 8v used the smaller disc
the 5speed make sure the top 2 side rubber plugs are glued in tight or box goes dry. they love to fall out or leak.
so the cable works?" the magic 1 inch travel>

Yes, I believe I put in new viton ring(s) 2 years ago. Last a lifetime? Oh, praise baby Jesus.
I also put on new distributor cap and rotor, new plug wires, new valve cover gasket, and adjusted the valves at that time. Runs smooth as a time share salesman now. HUGE difference! Wonder how many tracks and kicks are suffering with valves that haven't been adjusted for over 100K?

Again, as per your excellent instructions, I cut a piece of 2x4 to protect the distributor but found it blocked access to starter bolts and top R bell housing bolt. Since I had a bush bar on the front I used this method instead:

But watch the anchor points. I loaded the red strap mainly then took up the slack on the blue cinch strap around the intake manifold to balance the pull.

As per the rubber tranny plugs... I have two. These are the two that near the top of the tranny closest to the bell housing. I'll get a pic so the forum can see what you are talking about when recommending to make sure these are there...and glued in.

I also added a dab of "ShoeGoo" to the top of these sensors because a couple of the wires were bare and starting to look weak. ShoeGoo is more thick and rigid than Liquid Electrical Tape so I thought it would work better.

One of my questions is... what the hell are these plugs providing access to? Cause it would sure be nice to securely glue/mechanically fix them in to avoid a mess and a dry tranny.

Now I get to the "3rd plug?" Shouldn't there be one here too?? Near the transfer case? I think I'm missing one here

I hope I was able to get my pics to open in the post
