Standard Ignition LX-304 Distributor Ignition Pickup
Distributor Ignition Pickup for GM V8 Applications
Standard Ignition LX-304 is a distributor ignition pickup built for older Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile applications that rely on a stable trigger signal for ignition timing. It uses copper windings and permanent magnets to support strong signal output, with high-temperature enameled wire for added insulation and durability.
Key Features
- Female connector and female terminal design
- 2 blade terminals for direct distributor pickup connection
- Copper windings and permanent magnets for consistent signal emission
- High-temperature enameled wire insulation
- Built for electronic ignition systems where the original pickup has failed
- Standard Ignition LX-304 for select GM distributor applications
Detailed Description
The LX-304 distributor ignition pickup is engineered for vehicles that need a reliable magnetic trigger inside the distributor. Standard Ignition applies OE-level manufacturing control from component selection through final assembly, helping maintain consistent electrical performance. This pickup is a practical replacement for worn or failed ignition trigger components in classic Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile distributor systems, including Pontiac Firebird, Grand Prix, LeMans, and Grand Am applications.
This part cross-references Spectra Premium MP102 for the same application. Standard Ignition LX-304 is also referenced by aftermarket numbers such as 3-3005 and DR101.
