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.

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.
