Installation Notes and Tips

Verify distributor type and vehicle fitment before installation. Inspect the rotor, cap terminals, and ignition wires at the same time to confirm the rest of the ignition system is in serviceable condition. Match the cap to the listed year, make, and model exactly, especially on 1970s and 1980s applications where distributor variations can exist.
