1996 Ford Bronco/F-150 Distributor Exploded Parts Diagram & Installation 03-07A-6

This is page 03-07A-6 from the 1996 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, and F-Super Duty Powertrain/Drivetrain service manual (dated July 1995), covering the ignition distributor section. It shows an exploded-view diagram of the Closed Bowl Distributor (figure B6130-A) with a numbered legend of 12 components, including screws (388483-S2 and N801293-S36), the armature (rotary vane), shaft assembly, stator (Hall effect vane switch assembly), octane rod, base assembly, O-ring, thrust washer (4.9L), roll pin, gear, and collar, most listed as part of assembly 12127. The right column provides a 15-step Installation procedure, covering seating the camshaft position sensor, positioning the wiring grommet and stator wires, tightening the stator and octane rod screws to 1.7-4.0 N·m (15-35 lb-in), lubricating the shaft with Engine Assembly Lubricant D9AZ-19579-D (Ford spec ESR-M99C80-A), pressing the shaft with an arbor press using 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch deep well sockets, installing the thrust washer (4.9L only), and installing the collar, drive gear, and roll pin. A CAUTION states the distributor drive gear is not serviced separately and a new distributor must be installed if it is nicked or cracked, since the gear is matched to the distributor at assembly.
