Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the distributor ID and OE reference before installation, especially for 1988 Nissan D21 applications listed with distributor ID# 22100-16E01. Confirm gear tooth count, connector style, and engine application match the original unit. Transfer no ignition coil, as this distributor is supplied without one. Use the included cap and rotor during installation and set ignition timing according to factory service procedures.
