Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration, distributor type, and timing specifications before installation. This is a points-style distributor, so confirm the vehicle uses a points ignition setup and that the cap, rotor, and coil wire are sourced separately if needed. Set ignition timing after installation and inspect related ignition components for wear.
