The EP-8352 is a performance-specification HEI distributor for the Ford 289 and 302 small block V8. While the EP-302HEA-1 covers the general 289/302 application and the EP-8579 adds tachometer output, the EP-8352 addresses the standard performance replacement market for the Ford small block without the tach output feature. The red cap styling positions this unit for street rod, Mustang restoration, and early Bronco performance applications where a clean, colorful underhood presentation is desired alongside HEI performance.
The EP-8352 delivers the same 65,000-volt coil output, brass cap terminals, and adjustable vacuum advance as other EP HEI distributors. Ford small block applications — from the high-revving Hi-Po 289 to the 302/5.0L Boss derivation — all benefit from the consistent, high-energy spark that distinguishes the HEI system from Ford's original Duraspark and TFI ignition electronics.
Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management with Ford small block specific dimensional verification.
