Detailed Description

Cardone 31-49601 is a remanufactured distributor engineered for 6-cylinder Chrysler and Dodge applications that use a .475-inch diameter rotor cam and electronic distributor configuration. It is built to restore proper ignition timing and stable spark delivery, which are critical for smooth engine operation, starting performance, and consistent combustion. This part cross-references Chrysler and Dodge OE numbers such as MD314904 and MD316173 for the same application.

Compatible With 1995-2000 Chrysler Cirrus, N/A; 1995-2000 Chrysler Sebring, N/A; 1995-2000 Dodge Avenger, N/A; and 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus, N/A. Search terms such as Chrysler Cirrus distributor 31-49601 and Dodge Avenger distributor replacement point to this exact fitment family.

What It Helps Solve

  • Hard starting caused by weak or inconsistent distributor output
  • Misfire concerns related to incorrect spark timing
  • Rough idle from worn distributor internals
  • Oil leakage from worn or poorly machined distributor housings
  • Check engine light issues tied to ignition timing or signal problems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration, rotor cam diameter, and electronic distributor setup before installation. Transfer or source any components not included, including the distributor cap and coil wire if required by your application. After installation, confirm ignition timing and inspect all electrical connections to ensure proper operation on Chrysler Cirrus, Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Avenger, or Dodge Stratus applications.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE remanufactured distributor is processed to meet strict quality standards and is tested for signal integrity and component function before release. The remanufacturing process replaces or repairs high-failure OE components to help deliver reliable performance in the listed applications.
