Product Overview
The distributor routes ignition spark to each cylinder and works with the engine's ignition system to maintain correct firing order and timing.
Mercury parts information shows 879150A87 as the later distributor assembly replacing 884794A1 on matching applications. Some aftermarket catalogs also cross-reference selected Volvo Penta V8 uses, but the original distributor number should be the primary fitment check.
