{"product_id":"ford-fe-v8-hei-distributor","title":"Ford FE V8 HEI Distributor","description":"The Top Street Performance Ford FE V8 HEI Distributor is engineered to enhance the ignition system of Ford FE big block V8 engines. This unit integrates a magnetic trigger and a high-output 65,000-volt coil directly within the distributor housing, providing a powerful spark without the complexity of external coils or ignition boxes. Its one-wire hookup design simplifies the installation process for various Ford FE applications.\n\nConstructed with a durable machined aluminum housing and a steel drive gear, this distributor is built for performance and longevity. It incorporates both mechanical and vacuum advance systems, which are tuned for carbureted street and performance driving, and includes a vacuum advance adjustment tool for precise tuning. The HEI (High Energy Ignition) system offers more consistent timing than traditional points-style distributors, as it does not have points that wear out or require gap adjustments.\n\nThis distributor is specifically designed for standard light-duty Ford FE passenger car engines with a 1\/4-inch oil pump\/distributor shaft. It is crucial to note that it will not fit heavy-duty FE\/FT truck applications that utilize a 5\/16-inch shaft. The unit requires a 12-volt electrical system with an alternator and is not compatible with generator-based charging systems or vehicles that still have an active ballast resistor in the ignition circuit; the resistor must be removed or bypassed during installation. It is also designed exclusively for carbureted applications and is not intended for marine use.","brand":"Top Street Performance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52689414717752,"sku":"JM6508-R","price":90.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687731958.webp?v=1784906415","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/ford-fe-v8-hei-distributor","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
