Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition LX-222 distributor ignition pickup is engineered for Ford and Mercury ignition systems that rely on a distributor pickup signal to trigger spark timing. It is used across a wide range of applications, including 1983-1995 Ford Mustang, 1983-1992 Ford Ranger, 1987-1991 Ford F-250, and 1987-1991 Mercury Grand Marquis, along with many Econoline, Bronco, Taurus, Sable, Tempo, and Lincoln models.
