Where is the distributor cap located

Shouldn't have to replace it. Just take it off any let it sit to dry it out. I've sunk one of my trucks and the distributor got wet and it was fine after letting it dry

buick chevy and olds all have the same engine the part number might be different but it's the same they only have different number for inventory as long as you give the same engine size

you need to make sure you are on the compression stroke when the piston comes up to TDC for cylinder #1. Most times you can just feel the compression with your finger over the spark plug hole. After determining the #1 cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke, note the position of the #1 spark plug lead on the distributor cap. You will need to line up the rotor with the terminal inside the cap for #1.

change one spark wire at a time on the distributor.buy new set of spark plugs wires remove them from box.match old wires with new wires to use the correct length to each cylinder.now if you need to change distributor cap.mark location distributor cap.number tag plug wires on the distributor cap so you can remove plug wires on distributor cap so you can replace cap and rotor and put wires back on the distributor cap in correct place.remember change one plug wire at a time so you wont get confuse.

REPLACE THE PLUGS, WIRES, AND DISTRIBUTOR AND ROTOR CAP! THE WIRES ARE VERY IMPORTANT THEY ARE IN CORRECT ORDER! IT IS BEST TO REPLACE THEM ONE AT A TIME TO INSURE THE FIRING ORDER IS CORRECT! THE BEST WAY IS TO RAISE THE CAP, PUT THE NEW ONE ON THE JEEP, AND ONE BY ONE, WATCH THE LOCATION OF THE WIRE YOU TAKE OFF, AND PLACE IT IN THE SAME LOCATION ON THE NEW DISTRIBUTOR CAP! THEN ONE BY ONE, REMOVE THE WIRE FROM THE PLUG, REPLACE THE PLUG, AND PUT THE WIRE BACK ONTO THE PLUG! NOW YOUR READY FOR THE WIRES! WHEN YOU REPLACE THEM, DO IT ONE AT A TIME! WHEN YOU TAKE IT OFF THE PLUG, PUT THE NEW WIRE ON THE PLUG, THEN TRACE THE WIRE TO THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP, REMOVE IT AND INSTALL THE NEW WIRE IN ITS PLACE! THIS WILL ENSURE YOU HAVE IT BACK THE SAME WAY THE OLD ONES COME OFF!

Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).

there will be a numbert 1 on top of cap on old and new take 1 plug wire off at a tyime and put them on new one same location take off old undo 2 clips on both side of cap set on clip cap back down finished

Distributor caps are held on with screws located at opposing corners. Either hex or spring loaded half-turn latches are used on some models. Prior to removing the old cap, take the time to transfer the wires from the old cap to the replacement cap. This will avoid confusing the firing order. Remove old cap and slide new cap into place and secure screws or latching mechanisms. That is all there is to it.

If you're talking about the distributor cap and rotor. I dont know what size engine you have, but it's pretty much the same. Mark your wires with a piece of tape and write a number on each one. When you remove the wire from the cap, ONE AT A TIME, mark that location on the OLD cap with the same number. (you can remove them and immediately put them on the new cap IN THE SAME LOCATION, but it can get in the way) After all the wires are off, take the two screws out of the base of the cap and lift up on it.

Now...Take the two caps and place them next to each other, and mark the new cap exactly as you did the old cap.

Leave them there for a minute. Go back and take the 2 screws out of the rotor. Place the new one in place and tighten,first making sure you have it in the right position. Look at the bottom. There should be a square prong, and a round prong. They're there to make sure you don't put it on backwards.

Go back and get the cap from where you left it and put it back on in the same position. Put the wires back on starting with the last one you took off and work your way back to number 1.

Don't be afraid to take a picture of it before you start. Just because.

A diagram may not be needed as its a reasonably easy fix to do on your own.the distributor ca p will only fit on properly one way because at the base of the cap locaters can only fit the distributor if they line up.When doing the spark plug leads do them one at a time and if nessecary write or mark leads as 1,2 etc .The rotor can only fit on one way but put a mark on the distributor to show where the rotor was pointing when you took it off and if it still points there when the new one is fitted.When changing distributor cap and leads they have to go to the correct place.Pays to mark the outside of distributor cap where the locating bits are On the new and old one.Fit the new cap and rotor then take a spark plug lead and fit to new cap 1 at a time.You can tell by lining up the marks on the outside of the distributor cap when you hold them one on top of the other.Good luck
