The EP-1864 serves Cadillac's later V8 engines — the 4.5-liter and 4.9-liter units that powered DeVille, Seville, and Eldorado through the late 1980s and into the 1990s. These Cadillac V8 engines represent the final generation of traditional Cadillac V8 technology before the brand transitioned to the Northstar V8, and they are found in an active population of collectible and daily-driven Cadillacs.
The EP-1864 provides a complete HEI distributor for these Cadillac applications, delivering 65,000-volt coil performance that exceeds the original specification. The red cap provides a performance-oriented visual contrast to the understated Cadillac luxury aesthetic for owners who prefer a quality aftermarket appearance.
Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management with dimensional verification for Cadillac 4.5L/4.9L distributor specifications.
