FAQ
Does this HEI distributor need a separate coil or ignition box?
No. It is a self-contained HEI unit with the ignition module and coil built in, so it fires without any external coil or box.
What ignition wires does it use?
It uses an HEI-style male cap, so it requires spark plug wires with terminals that slip over the cap posts.
What engine does it fit?
It is designed for Small Block Ford 221, 260, 289, and 302 V8 engines. Confirm exact year and model coverage with the Pertronix distributor lookup.
Is it good for both street and strip use?
Yes. The Street/Strip HEI design supports daily street driving and higher-rpm strip use with a strong single-unit HEI spark.
