7A-FE - Where's My Distributor? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #74730 14 posts Started by Espo
Exactly as the title says. I have a can of Engine Clean I want to use to clean out my engine bay and it says to cover the carburetor (which we obviously don't have on an ST) and distributor/distributor air inlet with foil. Obviously I don't want to destroy my distributor so...yeah, can anyone explain or show where it is?
It's to the right of the valve cover, with the wires sticking out. Let me find a pic.

The spark plug wires you mean?
Yes sir.

lol must have not seen my engine pic look at my profile and u will never guess it has 250,000 miles lol but ferdi looks good though most 7afe look really bad
Excellent. Thanks Ferdi!
No problem, and thanks guys. smile.gif

When I get back to my car, I'll probably give the engine bay a real good cleaning, it's a little dirtier than pictured.
