I am trying to find a breakdown of the distributor for our 1989 Ford 150 Econoline van, with a 4.9 liter 6 cylinder engine. My husband is doing repair and has replaced the ICM and now needs to replace the pickup. He needs a diagram that shows how the distributor come apart so he can put it back together. If you have this please email me at: whispering55eagle@yahoo.com, Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

1. These are dirt cheap used by now whole!
2. If the six is like the 5.0 the thrust bushing thing (limits the up and down shaft movement) comes of when a roll pin is removed and whole shaft will slide out for replacement of the pick-up. I've had quite a fight with that thing sliding off the shaft and broken them and haven't found just that peice alone to replace.
Note: Just my own stats - 95% of distributor failures for these is the gray module on the side and those little bolts (special tool) can break off flush easily too so better so break up the module and still have the little bolt stud to try to remove if those are rusted or before you break them,

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your response, I have printed it so that my husband can read it when he comes back inside.

I think the picture has it named wrong. I think the picture has it named as plastic washer.

Ok: Sorry to badger this but the diagram IS different than the dist for the V8 and probably is. By chance I haven't happened on the dist for the 4.9 six and guessed it was similar. Just looked at one in my shop (for 5.0 V8) and for those a roll pin is used at both the gear and the washer that prevents upward movement of the whole shaft. So for debi and husband - the idea is that the shaft that has the gear on the lower end and the rotor at the top end has to come out to work on the distributor whether it uses roll pins or snap rings doesn't really matter and just a glance will tell.
Note: Some snap rings are well hidden and don't have the eyelet ends and many are directional! Watch out for that as there can be a microscopic difference in the edge facing the part to be secured - I'll call it "beveled" and I don't think it's critical for a dist but is for other things mechanical around vehicles in general - belt driven pulleys and U-joints to name two,
