LABOR?? don't pay labor to get the distributer changed, its the easiest thing to replace.

What do you mean "from the side"? I may have to remove my alt and I'd like to know the best way. I've got an 89 Si.

well you take alt off the mount, then remove the mount and pull back a piece of the splash guard behind the driver's wheel and you can pull it from the side.

Yep, that is correct.

To the dist problem, you don't have to mechanically inclined, just have an 8 mm socket/wrench and a 14 open end wrench. 3 screws for the cap and 3 bolts to remove the dist. that is it man, save yourself some money.
