The EP-2M-125 is a Ready-to-Run electronic distributor for early Ford Cleveland V8 engines (302 and 351 CID) with a 12.5mm distributor shaft diameter. The 0.5mm difference between this unit and the EP-2M-13 is small but critical -- the shaft must engage the engine block distributor drive socket correctly for accurate timing and reliable operation. Using the wrong shaft diameter results in slack engagement, potential timing drift, and accelerated wear on the distributor drive.
The EP-2M-125 provides the complete Ready-to-Run electronic ignition specification: a maintenance-free magnetic pickup replacing contact-breaker points, a high-output internal electronic module, adjustable mechanical advance mechanism with supplied bushings and springs, and a vacuum advance canister. Two-wire installation: connect switched +12V to the module and the coil negative trigger wire from the module to the external coil.
EP stocks both the EP-2M-13 and EP-2M-125 as separate SKUs to serve the two shaft diameter variants in the early Ford Cleveland V8 production run. Wholesale buyers supplying Ford Cleveland service shops are advised to maintain both in stock to serve the full customer base without requiring shaft measurement at the point of sale.
