Pontiac V8 Rebuild, Part 20: How to install a distributor for a roller cam.

Subscribe to watch Mike finish this engine build and re-install it into his 1969 Pontiac GTO Restomod, in his home garage! If he can do this at home, so can you! "How to install a distributor for a roller cam.", is Part 20 of this Pontiac 400/455 rebuild, but can be applied to all motor types. Have fun!

If you're converting from a points distributor, to an HEI, please read the following article. (You might have to find a new 12V source!) Thanks Kevin, for the heads up! https://pontiacstreetperformance.com/...

NEW! FMG MERCHANDISE available! Here's the online store for shirts (pick a color), and face masks, (Grey, Black, or Red) https://fmgmerch.threadless.com/

This is a very thorough description of what to do, how to do it, and what to watch out for. Mike is in the middle of rebuilding his Pontiac 400, which is now a Butler Performance 467, because a Roller Lifter Broke! (see link below). Enjoy!
