Product Details
Cardone 84-58470 is a new distributor engineered to deliver proper voltage to the spark plugs in the correct timing pattern. CARDONE Engineered Technology applies decades of reverse-engineering experience to identify original design weaknesses and correct them, helping ensure proper form, fit, and function. This distributor is a direct replacement for Nissan Altima models with a 4-cylinder engine and optical distributor setup, including 1993-1996 Nissan Altima electronic distributor applications and 1997 Nissan Altima models built before 07/1996. Cross-reference part numbers include Nissan 221001E400 and 221001E420 for the same application.
Common Repair Symptoms
- Hard starting or no-start conditions
- Rough idle or misfire concerns
- Incorrect ignition timing
- Weak or inconsistent spark delivery
- Driveability issues under load
Installation Notes
Verify the vehicle build date and distributor style before installation, since 1997 Nissan Altima coverage applies to vehicles built before 07/1996. This distributor includes the cap and rotor, and Honda-specific dust covers and gaskets are noted by the manufacturer for other applications, but they are not part of this Nissan Altima fitment. Confirm the 4-cylinder, optical distributor configuration and match the existing connector and mounting layout before replacement.
Quality Assurance
Each Cardone new distributor is computer tested and built to meet or exceed OEM performance expectations. The brand’s engineered replacement process is focused on correcting known design weaknesses so the finished part delivers reliable ignition timing and consistent operation.
