• Oil leakage or premature distributor failure from worn internal tolerances

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration and distributor ID before installation. This distributor is listed for electronically controlled applications, so confirm connector style, harness polarity, and ignition system requirements against the vehicle’s original unit. Because the distributor cap, rotor, and coil wire are not included, reuse or replace those components as needed during service. For best results, set base timing and inspect related ignition parts before returning the vehicle to service.
