Detailed Product Description

The WAI DST38465 distributor is engineered specifically for Mazda B2600 and MPV vehicles, providing a direct replacement that meets OEM specifications.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the WAI DST38465 distributor, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Verify the gear teeth align properly with the camshaft to avoid timing errors. The distributor cap should be securely fastened using the provided screw attachment method to prevent loosening during operation. Since the ignition coil is not included, confirm compatibility with your existing coil or replace as needed. It is recommended to check and adjust ignition timing after installation to optimize engine performance.
