Default Distributor Assembly

Does anyone have a suggestion for a video or book etc that would show how to assemble a 1963 Corvette Hi Performance Distributor ? I need something that addresses the positioning of the wires inside the cap area too.


Thanks

Thanks
The basic disassembly/assembly procedure is in your 1963 Corvette Shop Manual. You do have one of those, don't you?

For addition insight on how to "blueprint" it for best operation and optimize the spark advance map, search for threads by me, read the distributor thread and download the tuning seminar.
