Detailed Description

Cardone 30-2700 is a remanufactured distributor designed to deliver proper spark timing in Ford V8 engines. By restoring the distributor’s internal components and verifying critical operating characteristics, this unit helps maintain stable ignition output and consistent engine operation. It is a practical replacement choice for drivers servicing a 1993 Ford F-150, 1994-1996 Ford F-250, 1996-1997 Ford F-350, and select 1996-1997 Ford Bronco and Econoline models.

This part cross-references Ford F4TE12127AA and F4TZ12127A for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard starting caused by distributor wear
• Misfire from inconsistent spark timing
• Rough idle related to ignition signal problems
• Oil leakage from worn distributor machining surfaces
• Check engine light concerns tied to distributor performance
