Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a .475-inch diameter rotor cam and electronic distributor before installation. This distributor does not include a distributor cap, coil wire, or integrated ignition coil, and the electronic module is not supplied. Transfer or replace related ignition components as needed during service, and confirm timing after installation to ensure proper engine operation.
