Ignition Distributor for Cadillac V8 Applications

The WAI DST1822 ignition distributor is a 100% new replacement built for direct installation on select Cadillac Commercial Chassis, DeVille, and Fleetwood models from 1985-1989. It is engineered to meet or exceed OE form, fit, and function requirements, with a new cap and rotor included for a complete out-of-box unit.

Key Features

  • 100% new distributor assembly, ready to install
  • Tested to OE specifications for form, fit, and function
  • New cap and rotor included with each unit
  • Precision-engineered with high-grade materials for consistent performance
  • Direct-fit design for select Cadillac ignition systems

Product Details

WAI DST1822 is a complete ignition distributor designed for 1985-1989 Cadillac Commercial Chassis, 1985-1989 Cadillac DeVille, and 1985-1989 Cadillac Fleetwood applications. Built as a fully new unit rather than a remanufactured assembly, it is intended to restore proper ignition timing and spark distribution in vehicles that need a direct OE-style replacement. This part cross-references 1103742 and 1103755 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

  • Hard starting caused by worn distributor components
  • Misfire or rough running from inconsistent spark delivery
  • Timing instability related to distributor wear
  • Ignition performance loss from a damaged cap or rotor
  • Driveability problems in aging Cadillac ignition systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify engine application and distributor indexing against the original unit. Transfer ignition timing settings carefully and inspect related ignition components, wiring, and connectors for wear. Because the cap and rotor are included, the distributor arrives as a complete assembly for a cleaner replacement process on Cadillac DeVille, Fleetwood, and Commercial Chassis models.

Quality Assurance

WAI manufactures this distributor as a 100% new unit and tests each assembly for long-lasting performance. The DST1822 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
