How to service and repair the distributor on Mercury Villager?

Before distributor servicing you must set the engine at Top Dead Center (TDC) compression point of the No. 1 piston. Disable the battery ground cable and take out the distributor cap while noting the spark plug wire positions for correct reinstallation. The distributor requires unfastening the spark plug wires and screws followed by separation of the ignition coil electrical connector and Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor electrical connector so you can remove the distributor by dislodging the bolt. Unscrew it to eliminate the rotor component. During reinstallation rotate the crankshaft all the way to the top of compression stroke on the No. 1 piston TDC position. Fix the distributor rotor into place with the screw while moving the shaft mark into alignment with the protruding mark on the housing of the distributor. Reattach the distributor assembly while connecting all electrical connectors before fastening them into position. The installation requires the bolt to be tightened while confirming proper alignment of the distributor rotor head. Complete the process by installing the distributor cap followed by spark plug wire connection then tightening distributor cap screws and restoring the battery ground connection. You should understand that the vehicle might show abnormal driving behavior after battery replacement even when it learns the adaptive strategy which needs at least a 16 kilometer (10 miles) drive.

The Mercury Distributor is mounted over the head of the engine and rotates in time with the camshaft and sends coil voltage to each plug at the moment of combustion that should occur. By combining smooth suspension, clean driving and cabins generous enough to hold tall friends without forcing the wallet, Mercury gained the following it deserved. The brand preferred plush insulation that dampened tire screams such that the conversation remained easy even at highway speed. The power steering was light and direct which made the new drivers and the old drivers alike lane change very quick. Seats were generous, long cushions prevented sore legs on the way when traveling, and the door was wide, making it easy to get in with grocery bags. Sudden stylistic indicators, such as concealed headlights on the old Cougar, the poised position of the Grand Marquis, connoted assertiveness, not flashiness. Although gadgets have developed, Mercury has maintained a clean design, naming every switch plainly and placing gauges in the natural place so that the eyes don't have to strain to read the displays. Over the decades, Mercury struck a balance between comfortable ride and honest worth, not running after the meaningless gimmicks. The Distributor is easy to install at home. Unplug the battery, leave sparks in their places. Turn the crank until cylinder one is at top dead center on the compression stroke, mark the position of the rotor, and raise the old unit. Slide in the new Distributor, position the gear, be sure the rotor points towards the first terminal and clamp it in place loosely. To reconnect primary leads and vacuum hose. Turn on your Mercury, turn on a timing light pointing at the scale, then twist Distributor until mark reaches steady point, then tighten the clamp, now smooth idle.
