What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by worn distributor components
• Weak or inconsistent spark delivery
• Incorrect ignition timing
• Misfire concerns related to distributor wear
• Oil leakage from worn machining surfaces

Installation Notes and Fitment

Fits 1978-1979 BMW 320i, N/A. Confirm point-type distributor application before ordering. Because the distributor cap, rotor, coil wire, and electronic module are not included, reuse or source the required ignition components separately as needed for the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured distributors are processed under stringent quality standards and tested for fit, function, and ignition performance. The remanufacturing process replaces or repairs high-failure O.E. components to help the finished distributor meet or exceed original equipment performance expectations.
