ISSUE: The gears on EEC IV distributors are not released for service. EEC IV distributor gears are matched to the distributor at assembly and should never be replaced. Although service gears for breaker point distributors will physically fit EEC IV distributors, they should not be used.

ACTION: Do not replace distributor gears on EEC IV distributor. Install a new EEC IV distributor assembly.

NOTE: THE ORIGINAL EEC IV DISTRIBUTOR GEAR CAN BE REMOVED AND RE-INSTALLED WHENEVER IT IS NECESSARY TO REPLACE A DISTRIBUTOR STATOR ASSEMBLY OR TO SERVICE ANY OTHER RELATED DISTRIBUTOR COMPONENT.
