I was wondering how difficult it is to install a distributor? I just do basic stuff, oil changes, replaced a fuel filter, did a timing belt (once, with help) but I am OK mechanically. Here's a page for the part..

Thanks in advance for any help you can be.

im assuming its an 89 or older... because I think the newer 626's didnt use distributers... either way... here is a very handy dandy repair guide that makes it look fun and easy!
