Lawson, the button distributor adapter is easily installed onto the distributor with a sledged taper pin through holes in both button and tang. The hole in the tang should be on the loose side to allow the button to center itself properly. This assembly is then slid onto two long finger tight studs on the block that aid in positioning the distributor, to be removed as bolts replace them. Caution is warranted in seating the distributor by hand before using a wrench, to insure the tang is not 180 degrees out.
