The three illustrations shown on page 6D-29 of the 1984 Cutlass, 88, 98 and Toronado Chassis Service Manual are in error and should not be used for the distributor disassembly, test and reassembly procedure.
Update page 6D-29 of your 1984 Chassis Service Manual with the revised information shown in Fig. 1.
General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
