Detailed Description

Cardone Distributor products are remanufactured under strict quality standards to restore ignition performance without unnecessary replacement of the entire ignition system. Part number 31-74427 is engineered to transmit proper voltage to the spark plugs in the correct timing pattern, supporting stable engine operation in Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4, and Toyota Celica applications. The distributor is gray, does not include a coil wire, cap, rotor, or integrated ignition coil, and uses a magnetic coil design for electronically controlled ignition service.

This part cross-references Toyota 1910074230 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard starting caused by weak or inconsistent spark timing
• Misfire conditions related to distributor wear
• Oil leakage from worn distributor machining surfaces
• Check engine light concerns tied to ignition signal problems
• Premature ignition performance loss from aging internal components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application and connector style before installation. Because the distributor cap, rotor, coil wire, and electronic module are not included, transfer or replace related ignition components as needed during service. Proper indexing and timing setup are important after installation to maintain correct ignition advance and engine performance.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured distributors are tested with automated equipment to confirm signal strength, polarity, air gap, reluctor tooth size, and ignition pickup performance. The remanufacturing process replaces or repairs OE components with high failure rates and uses precise machining tolerances to support reliable operation and OE-level fit and function.
