What It Helps Fix

• Hard starting caused by weak or inconsistent ignition timing
• Misfire conditions related to distributor wear
• Rough idle from poor spark distribution
• Oil leakage from worn distributor housing tolerances
• Check engine light concerns tied to ignition signal problems

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1982-1983 Honda Civic, N/A. Verify engine configuration and existing distributor style before installation. Transfer or replace related ignition components as needed, since the distributor cap, rotor, coil wire, and integrated ignition coil are not included. Set ignition timing after installation and confirm proper connector alignment and harness routing.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured distributors are built to meet or exceed OEM performance expectations and are tested for signal strength, polarity, air gap, reluctor tooth size, and pickup operation. The remanufacturing process replaces or repairs high-failure OE components to support reliable ignition performance.
