Product Details
Cardone Distributor 84-2696 is engineered as a direct replacement for select Ford and Mercury 6-cylinder engines that use an electronic distributor setup. The design is based on reverse-engineering experience that identifies original design weaknesses and corrects them in the replacement part. That approach helps deliver consistent spark timing so the ignition system can send voltage to the spark plugs in the correct sequence. This part cross-references Ford and Mercury OE numbers such as E6AZ12127C and F2DZ12127B for the same application.
What This Distributor Helps Address
- Hard starting caused by distributor wear or internal sensor failure
- Misfire concerns related to inconsistent spark timing
- Rough idle from weak or irregular ignition signal output
- Stalling or hesitation tied to distributor performance loss
- Ignition performance issues on aging Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and related models
