Hello,

A repair kit is still available to replace the insulators on your B16 distributor, which I have in stock. The kit consists of several insulator washers and spacers and a new bolt, nut and washers.

There is a stake mark on the upper rim of the cast iron distributor housing that can only be seen when the distributor cap is off. The stake mark should point towards #1 spark plug hole and if you turn the crankshaft until the rotor is pointing towards #1 spark plug hole and at the stake mark, that should be the correct position to put the #1 spark plug wire. This ONLY applies if the distributor drive gear is clocked correctly, but on B16 it is rare that anyone has had that out in a long time.

The firing order is 1-3-4-2 and the rotor turns in a CLOCKWISE direction, which is the opposite direction that the B18/B20/B30 turns.
