Installation Notes and Tips
Verify engine and distributor gear requirements before installation, especially on Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, and Ford E-Series applications. This unit uses a clip-style cap attachment and does not include an ignition coil. Confirm the existing distributor configuration matches the Hall Effect design and 15-tooth melonized steel gear specification before replacing the original part.
For best results, inspect related ignition components and set base timing according to the vehicle service procedure after installation.
