The EP-289VWMG is a CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum Pro Billet distributor for the Ford 289 and 302 small block V8 -- the engine that powered the original Shelby GT350, the legendary 289 Hi-Po Mustang, and the early Bronco. Small-diameter billet housing is the defining characteristic of the 289/302 Pro Billet distributor, providing the clearance that standard-diameter units cannot offer in applications with superchargers, tall performance intake manifolds, or the tight engine bays of early Mustang and Bronco chassis.
MSD Ford 302 Small Diameter Pro-Billet Distributor is specifically noted for blower or manifold clearance -- the EP-289VWMG follows this same design principle, offering a reduced housing diameter that clears the driver's side of the engine bay in performance-built 289 and 302 applications. The Ford small block's long production run and enormous performance aftermarket means the EP-289VWMG can serve applications from mild 302 street builds all the way to full-race Shelby-style competition engines.
The EP-289VWMG requires an external ignition box and external coil. The magnetic pickup trigger is compatible with MSD 6, 7, and 8-series controls and equivalent units from Holley, Mallory, and FAST. This distributor is not a Ready-to-Run unit and cannot function without an external ignition box.

Key features
Small-diameter billet housing for tight 289/302 applications
Reduced housing diameter clears superchargers, tall performance intake manifolds, and close-clearance engine bays common in early Mustang and Bronco applications.
CNC 6061-T6 billet aluminum precision
Aerospace-grade billet housing with tight machining tolerances for consistent trigger signal at high RPM in modified 289 and 302 builds.
289 Hi-Po and Shelby compatibility
Fits the original 289 Hi-Performance (K-code) engine used in GT350 and early Mustang performance applications, as well as all standard 289 and 302 variants.
Adjustable advance with lockout
Custom advance curve configuration for street-performance and race applications. Full lockout for external ignition box advance management.

Application scenarios
Shelby GT350 and early Mustang race build
Shelby and early Mustang race builders using MSD or equivalent ignition systems pair the EP-289VWMG with their external ignition box for precision billet trigger accuracy.
Supercharged and blown 302 street/strip build
Builders adding a supercharger to a 302/5.0L use the EP-289VWMG's small-diameter housing to clear the blower drive assembly where standard distributors would conflict.
Ford SBF performance shop wholesale
Performance shops serving the Ford small block market stock the EP-289VWMG for customers with external ignition box setups requiring billet-quality trigger accuracy.
Installation guide
Disconnect battery. The small-diameter EP-289VWMG housing provides additional clearance over standard-diameter units -- verify clearance with supercharger or performance intake before installing standard distributor hold-down. Lower EP-289VWMG into position. Connect magnetic pickup wires to ignition box per box wiring diagram. Connect ignition box to external coil. Set base timing. Configure advance at ignition box. Approximately 45-60 minutes.
