I have tryed every extension swivel head dist wrench and can not get to the dist bolt to adjust the timing the car is 89 formula tpi l98 i can get the dist wrench on then can't move it because it is on the fuel rail anyu suggestions or any one in the gurnee IL area willing to help thanks

 

You can find a few different distributor wrenches at auto parts stores. The first time I adjusted my timing, I had to remove almost everything from the area to get at the bolt. I installed an aftermarket coil that sits about 1/2" further away from the distributor and flipped the EGR solenoid around so it sits up and away, rather than down and toward, the distributor. Now I can get a dizzy wrench in quite easily and even a regular wrench works in a pinch.

 

If the bolt has never been loosened spray penetrating lube on it 4 a few days b4 you try and work it..

 

Got to a pawn shop in their assorted tool bins find the wrench you need preferably closed end with a long handle lay it across a stove burner let the flame turn it red hot then slowly shape it fit the space you have to get to the bolt.

 

ok thanks its not that it is stuck just move the wrench once it is on no room i will give it another shot thanks

 

That's right. I had to use an open end wrench and bend it into an L shape. Not quite a 90 degree angle though , a little less.

 

Also had to remove my coil and egr solenoid to gain access to the bolt.

 

great thanks it looks like i might have to do he same thanks

 

i bought a dizzy wrench from summit. yes its tight and you can barley move the wrench to loosen the bolt but it does work

 

I was able to get a universal joint long extention and guilded it in and worked fine.But that was on a v6.
