Detailed Description

This distributor vacuum advance is used to restore proper ignition advance response in vehicles that rely on vacuum-operated distributor timing. Standard Ignition VC-268 is engineered for select 1987-1989 Dodge Raider, 1987-1989 Dodge Ram 50, 1988-1989 Mitsubishi Mighty Max, and 1988-1989 Mitsubishi Montero applications, with fitment tied to the OE distributor and emissions configuration listed in the vehicle notes. This part cross-references Standard Ignition V609 for the same application.

The VC-268 part number is also a useful reference when sourcing a distributor vacuum advance for Mitsubishi Montero, Mitsubishi Mighty Max, Dodge Raider, or Dodge Ram 50 ignition repair.

What It Helps Resolve

• Erratic ignition timing caused by a leaking vacuum advance unit
• Delayed or inconsistent distributor advance response
• Driveability issues related to worn vacuum diaphragm operation
• Vacuum loss at the distributor advance actuator
• Service replacement needs for OE-number-matched ignition repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE distributor number and emissions configuration before ordering, since fitment varies by application notes. Match the hose connector and 5/32" hose size to the existing vacuum line, and confirm the actuator mounts to the correct distributor assembly before installation. After installation, check ignition timing and inspect the vacuum line for leaks or cracking.
