Let me know if that helps.

Look at the square part of the metal plate. How do I get it to move to the square part of the module?

Van listed above has a 4.3 vortec. Distributor is behind the dog house inside the van.

Okay, that is what the ignition rotor is attached to. For that to turn, the engine has to. Take a breaker bar and socket and place it on the crankshaft center bolt. With the key off, turn the engine a little at a time until they align.

Let me know if that helps.

Thank you.

You are very welcome, April. Did you get it out and the new one in?

Joe

Yes! It finally runs after 2 and a half years.

Great. Take care and let us know if you have questions in the future.
