Because the cap and rotor are included, this unit is prepared for installation without rebuilding the original distributor. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 1110650, 1110652) for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application, gear tooth count, and distributor type before installation. Transfer and set ignition timing according to factory service procedures after the distributor is installed.
