The EP-302HEA2C covers Ford's larger-displacement FE and big block V8 family — the 351 Cleveland, 351M, 400M, 429, and 460 cubic inch engines that powered the most powerful Torinos, Thunderbirds, Lincolns, and heavy-duty F-series trucks of the late 1960s through the 1970s. These engines represent the pinnacle of Ford's classic performance era, with the 429 Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet engines producing factory-rated outputs that challenged the best Chevrolet and Mopar big blocks.
Converting these iconic Ford engines to HEI ignition provides the same benefits as the small block conversions — simplified wiring, stronger spark, elimination of the external ignition module box — with the added importance that these engines typically operate in heavier vehicles under greater thermal and load stress than the smaller applications. The 65,000-volt coil in the EP-302HEA2C is particularly beneficial for the large combustion chambers of the 429 and 460, where the longer flame travel path demands the highest available spark energy for complete combustion.
Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management with dimensional verification for Ford 429/460 distributor shaft specifications and drive gear geometry.

Installation guide
Same basic procedure as other Ford HEI units. Note: the 351C and 429/460 FE distributor dimensions differ from the Windsor small block. Disconnect battery, verify this is the correct distributor for your Ford big block application, mark positions, remove old distributor, lower EP-302HEA2C, connect BAT wire and vacuum advance, set timing. Approximately 30-45 minutes.
