Correct. No need to completely remove the dist.
Notes:
With the cap off as it should be when sinking in the dist., the mark (6 pointer) is clearly evident when approaching the dist. on the passenger side (RH). Also, we need not be concerned of the exact rotative position of the distributor because of the simple fact that it does not rotate (while it is clamped, anyway). Note that the odd bank ign. wires are NOT in consecutive order although the even (RH) side is. (2,4,6,coil. & 3,1,5 for the LH bank) Vortec engines are nice servicing in my opinion. Unlike so many car makers, for the most part the design does include some provisions, with less pompous in opposing fact that will always apply which warrants that the vehicle actually might have to be worked on someday.
What an excellent post this is. Better than the premium content you have to pay money for. GREAT photography too. The poster is an asset to the site, irrefutably, if that is an example of his posts!
Best to all! - Pete
