Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is vital for the longevity of your ignition system. Before starting, ensure the engine is completely cool. Carefully document the orientation of the ignition wires before removing them from the old cap to ensure correct firing order upon reassembly.
- Remove the retaining clips or screws holding the old distributor cap in place.
- Carefully lift the cap and transfer wires one by one if necessary to prevent firing order errors.
- Inspect the distributor shaft and rotor for excessive play before seating the new VEMO cap.
- Secure the new cap, ensuring the gasket (if applicable) is seated properly to keep moisture and debris out.
For care, avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning the engine bay, as moisture ingress is the primary enemy of distributor caps. Periodically check for hairline cracks or white carbon tracks inside the cap during routine tune-ups.
