No clue. Didn't check or get anywhere near the distributor as it's on the
back side of the engine. The timing chain replacement only involves taking
everything off the front of the engine. I thought the computer could
control the timing advance / retard to some extent, but maybe I'm now
outside of the adjustment range.
A side note. I don't know why the FSM has you remove the power stearing
pump. I did it the first time, but then when I was done didn't see the
point. I left it on for the second pass. It wasn't even really in the way
at all.
