This document is a single-page illustration from a Ford service procedure showing distributor gear installation. The main line drawing depicts a distributor standing upright (cap end down on a bench block or support), with a 1/2-inch socket placed over the distributor shaft/gear end. A large red annotation reading "1/2" Socket" with an arrow (added by the uploader) points to the socket, indicating that a common 1/2" socket is used as a driver to press or drive the gear onto the distributor shaft. The figure carries the Ford illustration reference number B4142-A. Faint background imagery shows a complete distributor with spark plug wires and an exploded distributor view, but the accompanying text in that background layer is too faded to read. The document contains no visible year, model, engine, or torque specifications, it is purely a visual aid demonstrating the tool (a 1/2" socket) used during distributor gear installation. It pairs with a companion page in the same album titled "Distributor Gear Removal," and is filed by the uploader with a 1990 Ford Bronco, which nothing in the image contradicts.
