Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Disconnect the battery and allow the engine to cool completely.
2. Remove Old Cap: Unscrew the existing distributor cap using a suitable wrench or socket. Carefully detach any electrical connectors.
3. Prepare New Cap: Inspect the new VK440 for any manufacturing defects. Ensure the saw‑tooth edges are clean and free of debris.
4. Mount the Cap: Align the cap with the distributor housing, ensuring the saw‑tooth pattern engages correctly. Tighten securely but avoid over‑torqueing.
5. Reconnect Wiring: Attach the ignition leads, verifying correct polarity and connector alignment.
6. Final Check: Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and observe for smooth operation. Verify that spark timing remains consistent.
