Cardone 30-2696 Distributor

Remanufactured Distributor for Ford and Mercury

CARDONE Distributor 30-2696 is a remanufactured Hall Effect distributor built for reliable ignition performance in select Ford and Mercury applications. It helps deliver proper voltage to the spark plugs at the correct timing pattern, supporting consistent engine operation in vehicles such as the Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Ford Aerostar.

The CARDONE Distributor line focuses on remanufactured ignition components that meet or exceed OE performance targets. Part number 30-2696 is engineered for direct-fit replacement where the original distributor has worn internal components, timing issues, or signal-related faults.

Key Features

• Remanufactured distributor for 6-cylinder applications
• Hall Effect distributor type for electronic ignition systems
• 100% new points and condensers installed where applicable
• Electronic module components are computer tested for full functionality
• Automated test equipment checks signal strength, polarity, air gap, reluctor tooth size, ignition coil performance, and pickup performance
• Precise machining tolerances help prevent oil leakage, poor timing, check engine light issues, and premature failure
• O.E. components with high failure rates are replaced or repaired to meet or exceed O.E. performance
• Guaranteed fit and function

Product Details

This CARDONE remanufactured distributor is built for 1986-1995 Ford Taurus, 1986-1995 Mercury Sable, 1992-1994 Ford Tempo, 1992-1994 Mercury Topaz, 1990-1992 Ford Probe, and select Ford Aerostar applications. It is a gray, 6-cylinder distributor with no coil wire, no distributor cap, no rotor, and no integrated ignition coil included. The design supports electronic distributor service where the original unit has failed due to worn internal parts, weak signal output, or timing inconsistency. This part cross-references Ford and Mercury OE numbers such as E6AE12127CA and E6AZ12127C for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard starting caused by weak distributor signal output
• Rough idle or misfire from incorrect ignition timing
• Oil leakage from worn distributor housing tolerances
• Check engine light concerns related to distributor performance
• Intermittent spark delivery in Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Ford Aerostar applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration and distributor identification before installation. This part is listed for module-not-supplied applications, so transfer or source the required electronic module separately if your vehicle uses one. Confirm the original distributor style and any ID markings, including E6AE-C where noted for 1991 Ford Aerostar applications. Set ignition timing and inspect related ignition components during installation to ensure proper operation.

Quality Assurance

CARDONE remanufactured distributors are processed under stringent quality standards and tested to confirm signal integrity, polarity, air gap, and pickup performance. The remanufacturing process replaces or repairs high-failure OE components and uses machining tolerances intended to support reliable fit and function in the specified Ford and Mercury applications.
