Detailed Description

Cardone 84-1646 is a replacement distributor designed for Jeep vehicles using a Delco distributor setup. It is built as a new component, not a remanufactured unit, and is intended to restore proper spark delivery and timing control in breaker point ignition systems. The included cap and rotor simplify the replacement process and help ensure the ignition components are matched for the application.

This distributor is listed for 1974 Jeep Cherokee, 1972-1974 Jeep CJ5, 1974 Jeep J10, 1974 Jeep J20, and 1968-1973 Jeep Wagoneer with Delco distributor and point-type ignition. This part cross-references Jeep 1110320 and 1110340 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Hard starting caused by worn distributor internals
• Misfire from inconsistent spark timing
• Rough idle related to ignition wear
• Weak spark delivery to the plugs
• Distributor cap and rotor wear in point-type systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a Delco distributor and point-type ignition before ordering. Match the existing distributor configuration and timing setup during installation, then set ignition timing to factory specification after replacement. The cap and rotor are included, and Honda-specific dust covers and gaskets are noted by the manufacturer for applicable Honda applications, though this listing is for Jeep fitment.

Cardone backs this distributor with Engineered Technology based on more than 40 years of reverse-engineering experience. Each unit is computer tested and built to meet proper form, fit, and function for the listed Jeep applications.
