Detailed Description

WAI DST1612 is a complete ignition distributor designed for classic vehicles that use a contact-point ignition setup. It is manufactured with all-new components and precision-engineered materials to support consistent ignition timing and dependable operation. This part cross-references common OE-style replacement numbers such as 1110267 and 1110280 for the same application. The DST1612 is a practical choice for restoring ignition performance in vehicles such as Chevrolet Bel Air, Pontiac Firebird, and GMC G1500 Van applications.

What It Helps Address

  • Hard starting caused by worn distributor components
  • Misfire or rough running from inconsistent spark distribution
  • Timing instability from damaged distributor gears or housings
  • Cap and rotor wear that can affect ignition output
  • Replacement needs for aging contact-point ignition systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify distributor gear tooth count, housing style, and ignition system type before installation. This unit uses a spring-hook cap attachment and does not include an ignition coil. Confirm engine and application details against the vehicle’s original distributor before timing the engine and finalizing installation.

Quality Assurance

WAI manufactures this distributor as a 100% new unit and tests each distributor for long-lasting performance. It is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
