Detailed Description

FD-8286 is a Standard Ignition ignition contact set used in breaker-point ignition systems found on select Ford E-Series vans, Ford F-Series trucks, and the 1974 Ford Pinto. This part supports the mechanical switching function inside the distributor, helping maintain consistent ignition timing and spark delivery in vehicles that still use contact-point ignition. If you are servicing a Ford E-100 Econoline, Ford F-250, or Ford Pinto with the listed serial-number breakpoints, FD-8286 provides the correct service replacement reference.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn or pitted breaker points
• Addressing hard starting caused by poor point contact
• Correcting intermittent spark delivery in distributor ignition systems
• Restoring stable idle and ignition timing on older Ford vehicles
• Servicing classic Ford trucks, vans, and Pinto applications with the listed serial breakpoints

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify distributor type and serial number before ordering, since fitment is limited to the listed Ford applications and breakpoints. Clean the distributor base during service, inspect the condenser and rotor, and set point gap and dwell to the vehicle specification after installation. Confirm the ignition system is in good condition before final timing adjustment.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition is a recognized aftermarket source for ignition service parts, and FD-8286 is cataloged for the specified Ford applications to support accurate replacement selection.
