  • Hall Effect distributor type for precise ignition signal control
  • Aluminum housing for durable fitment and heat resistance
  • Melonized steel gear with 15 teeth
  • Distributor cap and rotor included

Detailed Description

WAI DST2888 is a direct-fit ignition distributor for 1994-1995 Ford Mustang, 1991-1993 Ford Thunderbird, and 1991-1993 Mercury Cougar models. Built with all-new components, this distributor is designed to restore ignition timing control and signal consistency in vehicles that require a Hall Effect distributor. The aluminum housing, melonized steel gear, and OE-spec testing support reliable installation and long-term service in these Ford and Mercury applications. This part cross-references Ford OE numbers such as F0SE 12127-CA and F4ZZ 12127-A for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

  • Hard starting caused by a worn distributor assembly
  • Misfire or rough running from inconsistent ignition triggering
  • Timing instability related to distributor wear
  • Cap and rotor deterioration affecting spark delivery
  • Driveability issues in Ford Mustang, Ford Thunderbird, and Mercury Cougar ignition systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine and application match before installation. Transfer and set ignition timing according to factory service procedures after the distributor is installed. Confirm proper gear engagement and connector alignment, and inspect related ignition components before final startup. The included cap and rotor simplify replacement, but the ignition coil is not included.

Quality Assurance

WAI manufactures this distributor as a 100% new unit using high-grade materials and tests each unit for long-lasting performance. The DST2888 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
