Distributor install ?

I have advanced the driveshaft with just a telescoping magnet. It will work. You just grab it with the magnet, lift up and rotate it where you want it then drop it back down and slide the magnet off. Any way (using a magnet, screwdriver or combo) will work. I think that's what he meant.

Never had to use a magnet, its always worked for me with just a large flat head.
