The EP-403 is a complete HEI distributor for the Oldsmobile V8 engine family spanning 260 through 455 cubic inches. Oldsmobile had its own distinct V8 engine family separate from the Chevrolet SBC/BBC, with unique block architecture, distributor location, and drive specifications. The Olds 442 with the W-30 455 V8 is one of the most revered muscle cars of the classic era, and Olds 350 engines powered the Cutlass and Delta 88 through millions of reliable miles of everyday service.
The Oldsmobile V8 uses a different distributor mounting and drive configuration than the Chevrolet SBC/BBC, requiring a specific Oldsmobile-application HEI distributor rather than a universal Chevy unit. The EP-403 is correctly dimensioned and geared for the Oldsmobile family, covering the full displacement range from the small 260 CID to the massive 455 CID W-30. The 65,000-volt coil provides strong spark energy across the broad Olds V8 displacement range.
Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management with dimensional verification for Oldsmobile V8 distributor specifications.

Key features
Oldsmobile V8 family coverage 260-455
One distributor covers the complete Oldsmobile V8 family from the 260 econobase engine to the 455 W-30 performance powerplant.
Olds-specific distributor geometry
Correctly dimensioned for the Oldsmobile V8 drive configuration — not a Chevy unit adapted to an Olds application.
65K coil for 442 and W-30 performance
The Olds 455 W-30 benefits from the maximum spark energy of the 65K coil for its high-compression, high-flow combustion characteristics.
Complete HEI conversion
Ships ready-to-install with coil, red cap, rotor, module, and vacuum advance.

Installation guide
Oldsmobile V8 distributor installation follows the same general HEI procedure but with Olds-specific shaft depth and drive gear engagement. Disconnect battery, mark positions, remove old Olds distributor, lower EP-403, connect BAT wire and vacuum advance, set timing per Oldsmobile specification. Do not substitute a Chevy SBC unit — Olds-specific distributor required. Approximately 30-45 minutes.
