i bought a new distributor from Napa after having no luck with finding one in a junkyard. But anyways what i want to know is did they give me the right one?
I have a 1992 Mazda MX-3 1.8 6 cylinder. The napa part # on the receipt is 9541303. And the markings off my old distributor say KL01
than a line under that says TOT57071. Can any one help me on this. If you want to look at the napa website it is napaonline.com
distributor model #?

first of all what is the line code on that? i do not recognize the number almost seems like a ba or beck arnley #. i have worked for napa for some time. you do not want that distributor get one that is made by A1 rebuilders which are usually a 58-number i had some difficulties getting the right one for my mx3 because they make 2 different ones. one with a large distributor rotor mount measures something like .515 and the other one is more like .465 and i also found out that i had one with a mismatched cam side housing too big to fit inside head so don't get a cheap distributor you will regret it! just a couple of things of suggestion.

i think napa only had the 2 distys. one with the smaller rotor and 1 with the bigger rotor. I gave him the # off my old one and they ordered this new disty for me. Now yesterday after i posted i took a q-tip and cleaned out the hole near the rotor side and noticed my old distys hole looks bigger than the new disty they gave me. Im assuming this is a problem. Correct me if im wrong.
