Installation Notes and Tips
Verify engine application before installation and compare the existing distributor configuration to the replacement unit. Because the distributor cap, rotor, coil wire, integrated ignition coil, and electronic module are not included, transfer or source the required related components as needed for the vehicle.
For best results, inspect ignition wiring, spark plugs, and related sensors during replacement. Proper indexing and timing setup are important on 1992-1997 Lexus SC300, 1993-1997 Lexus GS300, and 1993-1998 Toyota Supra applications.
