Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the TEC distributor with ID# TD-80U before ordering. Compare the original unit, connector layout, and mounting points to confirm application match. Because this is a complete distributor assembly, it is intended to replace the existing unit directly without rebuilding the original distributor.
