• Oil leakage from worn distributor machining surfaces
• Check engine light concerns tied to ignition timing errors
• Premature distributor failure from worn internal components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration, vacuum advance setup, and dual-pickup requirements before installation. This distributor does not include a distributor cap, rotor, coil wire, integrated ignition coil, or electronic module, so reuse or source those components as needed for the application. Confirm timing after installation to match the vehicle’s ignition specifications.
