Distributor Ignition Pickup for Ford and Mazda

The Standard Ignition LX-257 distributor ignition pickup is built for distributor-mounted electronic ignition systems that need a clean, consistent trigger signal. It uses copper windings, permanent magnets, and high-temperature enameled wire to support strong signal emission and stable performance in service.

  • Distributor-mounted ignition pickup for electronic ignition systems
  • Copper windings and permanent magnets for reliable signal output
  • High-temperature enameled wire for improved insulation
  • Female connector gender with male blade terminals
  • 4-terminal design for the specified distributor application
  • Standard Ignition LX-257 replacement for OE-style repair

Application Details

Compatible with 1991-1997 Ford Aerostar, 1991-1997 Ford Ranger, and 1994 Mazda B3000 distributor applications. The LX-257 is a direct-fit distributor ignition pickup for vehicles that rely on the distributor signal to control ignition timing and spark delivery. This part cross-references 4P1267 and 52-5565 for the same application.

For buyers searching for a Ford Ranger distributor ignition pickup or a Mazda B3000 ignition pickup, the Standard Ignition LX-257 provides the correct connector style and terminal layout for the listed applications. It is also a practical match for 1991-1997 Ford Aerostar ignition repair where the distributor pickup has failed.

What It Helps Resolve

  • Intermittent or missing ignition trigger signal
  • Hard starting caused by distributor pickup failure
  • Engine stalling related to weak ignition signal output
  • Misfire conditions tied to distributor signal inconsistency
  • No-start concerns on listed Ford and Mazda applications

Installation Notes

Verify distributor mounting location, connector gender, terminal type, and terminal count before installation. Match the pickup to the existing distributor design and inspect related ignition components for wear, corrosion, or heat damage during service. Confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, and model before ordering the LX-257.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures electronic ignition components with in-process quality control from component production through final assembly. The LX-257 is engineered with materials selected to support signal strength, insulation performance, and dependable distributor operation.
