Installation Notes and Tips
Before installation, confirm the vehicle application and compare the existing distributor configuration to the new unit. Transfer no ignition coil, since this distributor is supplied without one. Use the included cap and rotor during installation, and verify ignition timing after the distributor is installed on the Acura Legend. For best results, inspect related ignition components and wiring before final startup.
