Standard Ignition LU-1316 Ignition Contact Set

Ignition Contact Set for Primary Ignition Service

Standard Ignition LU-1316 is an ignition contact set built for primary ignition service where accurate switching and stable distributor operation matter. It is pre-aligned and pre-adjusted to reduce setup time, and the design uses a lubricated felt pad to help reduce cam lobe wear on the distributor.

Compatible With classic Ford ignition applications and other vehicles using a contact-point distributor, this part number LU-1316 is a practical choice for restoring consistent spark control. The LU-1316 also cross-references Standard Ignition LU-1316 for the same application.
