Detailed Product Overview

Part number 30-2894 is a gray, remanufactured distributor for 8-cylinder Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles that use a cast iron gear. It does not include a distributor cap, rotor, coil wire, integrated ignition coil, or electronic module. Because cast iron and steel gears are not interchangeable, correct part selection is critical to avoid camshaft gear or distributor gear damage. This part cross-references Ford E4TE12127B and Lincoln E4TE12127BA for the same application.

Common Issues This Distributor Can Address

• Hard starting caused by weak or inconsistent spark timing
• Misfire or rough idle from worn distributor internals
• Timing instability in electronic ignition systems
• Oil leakage around a worn distributor housing
• Check engine light concerns related to distributor signal problems
