1994 Ford Distributor Gear & Armature Installation - Steps 14-19 (03-07-7)

This is page 03-07-7 from a 1994 Ford factory service manual section on Ignition, covering "Removal and Installation (Continued)" for the distributor. The page footer reads "1994 Econoline," indicating the manual page itself is from the Econoline powertrain manual, though it was uploaded as applicable to a Bronco. The page presents steps 14 through 19 of a distributor shaft/gear reassembly procedure: pressing the distributor gear onto the shaft assembly using a 5/8-inch deep well socket (step 14, with an accompanying illustration labeled B4142-A), inserting a new pin through the distributor gear, flush for 4.9L, 5.0L and 5.8L engines, with equal pin extrusion on either side of the gear for the 7.5L (step 15), installing the distributor armature (step 16), tightening the armature retaining screws to 2.8-4.0 N·m (25-35 in-lb) while holding the drive gear rather than the armature (step 17), verifying the distributor shaft rotates freely without binding (step 18), and finally installing the distributor assembly and resetting initial timing as outlined (step 19). Two NOTE callouts warn about proper screw tightening technique and that the whole distributor must be replaced if the armature contacts the stator.
