What It Helps Fix

• Hard starting caused by distributor wear or internal failure
• Misfire conditions related to weak spark distribution
• Rough idle from inconsistent ignition timing signals
• Intermittent stalling linked to a failing distributor assembly
• Ignition performance issues on computer-controlled GM V8 systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s connector style, V8 tower layout, and ignition system configuration before installation. The CZ20008 uses a 3-pin sealed connector and does not include an ignition coil or coil wire. Confirm plug wire routing to the horizontal HV towers and follow the instruction sheet during setup.
