Detailed Product Information

The WAI DST2880 is a complete ignition distributor for Ford truck, van, and passenger car applications that require a cast iron gear on the OE unit. It is built with all-new components and matched to OE manufacturing and performance specifications for direct replacement service. This part cross-references Ford OE numbers such as E5TE 12127-AA and E5TZ 12127-A for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Hard starting or no-start conditions caused by distributor wear
• Intermittent ignition signal loss from a failing Hall Effect distributor
• Rough idle, misfire, or timing instability
• Worn distributor gear or housing damage
• Cap and rotor deterioration affecting spark delivery

Installation Notes

Verify that the vehicle uses a cast iron gear on the OE unit before installation. The DST2880 includes a distributor cap and rotor, and the cap attaches with clips. Confirm timing and ignition indexing during installation to ensure proper engine operation in Ford Bronco, Ford F-150, Ford F-250, Ford E-Series van, Ford LTD, and Lincoln Mark VII applications.
