The EP-6508 serves Ford's legendary FE (Ford Engine) big block family — one of the most historically significant V8 engine series in American automotive history. The FE powered the Ford GT40 to multiple Le Mans victories, the NHRA-dominating Ford 427 Cammer, and the street-performance 428 Cobra Jet that shocked the muscle car era with its Mustang and Fairlane installations. Converting FE-equipped Galaxies, Fairlanes, and Mustangs to HEI ignition has become an increasingly popular upgrade as original FE ignition components become scarce after 50+ years of service.
The FE engine's distributor is distinctive — it mounts at the front of the engine between the cylinder heads rather than at the rear, as in most other American V8 designs. The EP-6508 is dimensioned specifically for the FE mounting position and drive configuration, ensuring correct shaft depth and drive gear engagement for the front-mounted FE distributor location. The 65,000-volt coil provides strong spark energy for the FE's large displacement combustion chambers.
Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management with dimensional verification for the unique FE distributor geometry.

Key features

Covers the entire FE V8 family from the 332 base engine through the legendary 427 and 428 Cobra Jet performance engines.
FE-specific front-mount geometry
The FE distributor mounts at the front of the engine — the EP-6508 is dimensioned specifically for this unique FE mounting configuration.
Le Mans and Cobra Jet heritage
Serves the engine family that won Le Mans and dominated drag racing in the 1960s — one of the most historically significant American V8 families.
65K coil for large FE chambers

Installation guide
The FE engine's distributor mounts at the front of the engine between the cylinder heads — this is different from virtually all other American V8 engines. Disconnect the battery. Remove the distributor cap and note the rotor position carefully. Mark the housing alignment against the front cover. Disconnect vacuum advance and wiring. Remove the hold-down and withdraw the old unit. Lower the EP-6508 into the front-mount position, align, and install. Connect BAT wire and vacuum advance. Set timing per FE specification with timing light — FE timing is measured differently than rear-mount distributors. Transfer plug wires. Approximately 45-60 minutes.
