Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the WAI DST2813 distributor, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. The screw attachment method for the distributor cap requires proper torque to avoid loosening during operation. Since the ignition coil is not included, verify compatibility with your existing coil. It is recommended to inspect and replace related ignition components as needed for optimal performance.
