Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Performance with Cardone 84-1829 New HEI Electronic Distributor and Module by Eric Power

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly. Easy to fix. There is no point in buying an expensive cap when you can buy it a little more expensively.

Dropped this off today with no problems. It works great. I had to clear the codes and set them once to align the camshaft position sensor. This fixed the issues I knew were distributor related. Basically my cap was bad and the base was broken. It was cheaper than the last hat I bought in Napa. If anything changes I will post an update. Just a little slower. Be sure to index the position of your rotor before dragging it. Then the position it rotates to before you even rotate it. Position the rotor on the second mark and insert it. The base is always leveled so that the wires are on both sides. The screw hole in the front cover is off-center just enough to clear the intake manifold. It's really easy to fix. Of course, don't start the engine when it's off. Then it becomes PITA.

Pros
  • Guaranteed fit and function
Cons
  • Will be added later
