Detailed Product Description

The WAI DST4694 distributor is engineered with a melonized steel gear that offers enhanced wear resistance, making it suitable for long-term use in Dodge Cherokee, Dakota, Jeep TJ, and Wrangler models.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the WAI DST4694 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. Replacing the distributor cap and rotor together, as provided, helps maintain ignition system integrity.
