BrandEP (Ever-Power)

The EP-1633 is an electronic distributor for the GM 2.8L and 3.1L V6 engine family used across the mid-1980s through early 1990s GM passenger car lineup -- Buick Skylark, Chevrolet Camaro V6, Pontiac Fiero, Pontiac Firebird V6, Pontiac 6000, and Oldsmobile Calais. The GM 2.8L V6 (173 CID) is one of the most widely installed engines in GM's front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive mid-size platforms of the era, and the 3.1L V6 (189 CID) replaced it in 1990 in the Camaro and Firebird.

The Pontiac Fiero application is of particular note -- the Fiero's mid-engine layout uses the 2.8L V6 in a unique transverse mounting configuration, making distributor access slightly different than in conventional front-engine applications. The GM 2.8L V6 distributor is a compact unit suited to the tight packaging requirements of both the Fiero and the front-wheel-drive platform vehicles that share this engine.

The EP-1633 covers a broad fitment range across six GM vehicle nameplates, and the correct OEM number verification is important to ensure the exact connector and housing configuration matches your specific vehicle year and engine.

Mark rotor position and housing alignment before removal. Disconnect multi-pin connector. Remove hold-down and old distributor. Install EP-1633 in same orientation. Reconnect connector. No timing adjustment required on EFI applications if installed in same position.

Frequently asked questions

What are the symptoms of a failing GM EFI distributor?
Common failure symptoms for GM EFI distributors of this era include intermittent no-start conditions, engine stalling at operating temperature, erratic idle quality, loss of power under acceleration, and check engine codes related to the distributor reference signal or cam position sensor. The Vortec-era distributors (1996-2002) are particularly known for plastic housing cracking or warping from heat cycling, which allows oil or coolant contamination of the optical or magnetic pickup sensor inside the housing. The LT1 Optispark distributors (1992-1994) are known for moisture infiltration that degrades the optical sensor window, typically producing a characteristic hard cold-start condition that improves as the engine warms up.
Does the EP-1633 ship with the cap, rotor, and all necessary sensors?
Yes. The EP-1633 ships as a complete plug-and-play assembly including the distributor body, distributor cap, rotor, and all internal sensors required for operation in the listed applications. For Optispark LT1 units, the optical sensor assembly is included as part of the complete distributor. For standard EFI units, the magnetic pickup and cam position reference sensor are integrated into the assembly. No additional ignition components are required beyond the standard ignition module and coil already present on your vehicle.
Does the EP-1633 fit the Pontiac Fiero 2.8L and the Camaro 2.8L equally?
Yes. The GM 2.8L V6 shares the same basic distributor interface across both the Fiero mid-engine configuration and the conventional front-engine Camaro/Firebird applications. The distributor itself is identical; only the installation access and procedure differs due to the Fiero's mid-engine layout. Verify the OEM number (1103704, 1103705, or 1103694) on your existing distributor to confirm EP-1633 is the correct unit for your specific year and engine management configuration.
Do I need to reset the timing after installing this distributor?
For most GM EFI applications of this era, the distributor does not require timing adjustment after replacement if the engine is set to top dead center (TDC) before the old distributor is removed and the new unit is installed in the same position. Most 1987-1995 GM TBI and EFI applications use a computer-controlled timing advance that does not require a timing light for replacement -- align the distributor housing marks and the rotor to the same position as the original unit. For 1992-1994 LT1 Optispark applications, the base timing is not adjustable in the field; the Optispark provides a crankshaft-referenced timing signal and the PCM controls all timing advance. Consult the factory service manual for your specific vehicle year and engine for the correct installation procedure.
How do I order the EP-1633 for export or wholesale?
EP supports single-unit orders for market sampling, carton quantities for repair shops and parts counters, and container-volume wholesale orders. Standard production lead time is 15-30 days. OEM branding and private-label packaging are available for qualifying volumes. Contact our team via the inquiry form or WhatsApp for pricing and availability.
