Application Details

This distributor is built for vehicles that require a direct-fit ignition replacement, including Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models from the late 1990s, along with Bronco, E-Series vans, and F-Series trucks from the early to mid-1990s. The WAI DST2890 supports consistent distributor operation with all-new components and OE-style construction.

This part cross-references Ford OE numbers F2TE 12127-AA and F2TZ12127BA for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Resolve

• Hard starting caused by a worn distributor assembly
• Misfire concerns related to distributor wear
• Rough idle from inconsistent ignition signal delivery
• Timing instability from damaged internal distributor components
• Cap and rotor wear affecting spark transfer

Installation Notes

Verify engine and distributor gear requirements before installation. The unit uses a Hall effect design, a 15-tooth gear, and a spring hook cap attachment method. The ignition coil is not included, so reuse or replace that component separately as needed. Confirm the existing application matches the vehicle listing before installation on a Ford Bronco, Ford F-150, Ford Explorer, or Mercury Mountaineer.

Quality Assurance

WAI manufactures this distributor as a complete new assembly using high-grade materials and tests each unit for long-lasting performance. The DST2890 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
