Cardone Distributor Line Details

Cardone’s Distributor line uses engineered replacement design to address original weaknesses found in the factory part. That approach is applied to help restore proper voltage delivery to the spark plugs at the correct timing pattern, which is important for smooth running and consistent engine response in Chevrolet and GMC truck and van platforms.

What This Distributor Helps Resolve

• Hard starting caused by weak or inconsistent ignition output
• Misfire conditions related to worn distributor components
• Timing irregularities from a failing distributor assembly
• Rough idle or hesitation tied to ignition breakdown
• Loss of spark delivery to the plugs under load

Installation Notes

Verify engine configuration and distributor type before installation. This unit is specified as an HEI distributor with an electronic module supplied, distributor cap included, ignition rotor included, and integrated ignition coil. On Honda applications, dust covers and gaskets are also included; however, this part number is listed for Chevrolet and GMC fitments shown above.

For best results, confirm the existing distributor indexing and timing settings during replacement. This part number, 84-1697, is listed for multiple Chevrolet and GMC 6-cylinder applications, so matching the vehicle year, make, and model is essential before installation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone New Distributors are backed by Cardone Engineered Technology and are 100% computer tested before release. The design is intended to meet proper form, fit, and function for the listed applications, and the part is new.

This part cross-references Chevrolet and GMC OE numbers (e.g., 1103482, 1110753) for the same application.
