This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does an ignition contact set do?
The contact set (points) opens and closes as the distributor cam turns. This switches the ignition coil's primary circuit so the coil can fire the spark plugs.
Which vehicles does the Standard Ignition JP-15P fit?
It fits the 1976-1980 Chevrolet LUV, 1976-1979 Subaru DL, GF and Standard, 1978-1979 Subaru BRAT, 1979 Subaru FE and GL, 1977-1979 Buick Opel and 1980-1982 Toyota Tercel.
Do the points need adjusting before installation?
The units are pre-aligned and pre-adjusted to save installation time. After installing, follow your vehicle's service information to confirm point gap and dwell.
What is the felt pad for?
The lubricated felt pad lubricates the distributor cam lobes. This reduces wear on the rubbing block and helps extend the contact set's usable life.
What part numbers does JP-15P interchange with?
It interchanges with A538, 1783, JA13, CS375, 12336862, 1972656, 94206144, 94208408, 8942061440, 8942061450, 8942084080, CS310, CS375SB, 391464302, 391464312, JP15PT and 1914514010.
