Within the distributor and mounted to it are many individual pieces which allow the distributor and system to be maintained and repaired to keep it in top working order.

Product Features:
  • All products are constructed to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.
  • Cap terminal conductor wires formed with precision guided machines to ensure precise final location in the final housing assembly.
