Detailed Product Description

WAI DST2697 is a complete ignition distributor assembly designed for vehicles that require a direct OE-style replacement. The unit uses a Hall Effect design and is built with an aluminum housing, melonized steel gear, 14-tooth gear configuration, and a screw-on distributor cap attachment method. It is supplied with a distributor cap and ignition rotor, making it a practical replacement for worn or failing distributor components. This part cross-references Ford OE numbers F1TZ 12127-A and F2TZ12127B for the same application.

Vehicle coverage includes 1991-1995 Ford Aerostar, 1991-1995 Ford Ranger, 1995 Ford Windstar, and 1994 Mazda B3000. If you are replacing a distributor on a Ford Ranger, Ford Aerostar, or Mazda B3000, DST2697 provides a direct-fit option built to OE specifications.

Common Problems This Part May Address

• Hard starting caused by a failing distributor assembly
• Intermittent ignition signal loss from worn internal components
• Misfire or rough running related to distributor wear
• Cap and rotor deterioration affecting spark delivery
• Timing instability from a damaged distributor gear or housing

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify engine application, connector style, and distributor indexing against the original unit. Transfer timing settings carefully and confirm proper rotor alignment during installation. Because this is a complete distributor assembly, it is intended to replace the existing unit directly without rebuilding the original distributor.
