Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the WAI DST49600 distributor, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one.

It is recommended to check and adjust ignition timing after installation to match manufacturer specifications for Chrysler and Dodge Avenger, Cirrus, Sebring, and Stratus models.
