Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle uses the listed electronically controlled distributor application before installation. This distributor does not include a distributor cap, ignition rotor, coil wire, integrated ignition coil, or electronic module supplied. Confirm connector condition, timing setup, and related ignition components during service to avoid repeat diagnosis.
Quality Assurance
Cardone remanufactured distributors are tested with automated equipment and computer verification to confirm signal quality and component function. The remanufacturing process replaces or repairs OE components with high failure rates and uses precise machining tolerances to support reliable operation and OE-level performance.
