Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the WAI DST4691 distributor, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one to maintain proper timing. The included distributor cap and rotor simplify the replacement process by providing all necessary ignition contact points. Use the screw attachment method to secure the distributor cap firmly, avoiding over-tightening which could damage the cap or housing. Verify gear engagement with the camshaft gear to prevent timing issues.
