Take a look in the top right hand corner of his post dinodog, it says - Ride: VR Statesman 5.0lt. He wouldnt have any probs doing the V6's.

Hi guys..I just did mine and its a bitch of o job but well worth it. I just lay on top of the motor and worked from there. The dissy cap is a bit tight to get out but justby moving a few lines and removing the fuel rail covers it can be squeezed out no prob. Once youve got it out youll see it can only go back on the distributor one way cos there is a little notch in the cap that fits back on one way only. Also where the cap clips on to the dissy closest to the transmission, going anti clockwise the first terminal should be #1 and remember the rotor turns CLOCKWISE. Firing order is 1-2-7-8-4-5-6-3. Good luck

Does the six have a distributor cap?

The V6 has a coil pack, not a dizzy

undo the trans mount and jack the trans up as much as it will go, this should lift the back of the motor a little and hopefully give a little more clearance from the firewall to work on the distributor and cap etc:thumbsup:
