Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration and vacuum setup before ordering, since this distributor is listed for single vacuum applications. Confirm gear tooth count, cap style, and connector layout against the original unit before installation. Because the cap and rotor are included, the assembly is prepared for installation once the existing distributor is removed and timing is set to specification.
