Step 4: Remove Components Carefully remove the Mustang distributor cap with a screwdriver and set it aside. Place it directly onto a suitable work surface such as a piece of wood, cardboard or a work bench. (For extra insurance, you might even want to take a quick digital picture with your phone or camera to make sure it all goes back together the way it came off.) Step 3: Remove the hold down bolt and bracket Secure these parts in a safe place such as a zipper bag for later use and then pull the distributor assembly out with a slight twisting motion. Step 2: Remove your Ford Mustang Distributor Wires Keeping things as simple as possible for re-installation, one by one, remove and mark the distributor wires showing which terminal it goes onto in the distributor cap. Important: while it's even easier to draw a line with a felt pen or sharpie, it's almost impossible to properly clean up your old distributor housing and not remove even a line made by a permanent marker. The position of these two things, make it possible to complete the process without needing to reset your engine's spark timing. Then mark, or take a picture of the unit still attached to note exactly how it sits when bolted in as well as which direction the pointy contact end of the rotor points. Scratching this line into the housing base as well as the corresponding edge of the intake manifold casting will allow you to remove the distributor for cleaning up and restoring, while preserving the engine timing that you now have.
