The EP-302HEA-G1 is a variant of the Ford 302/5.0L HEI distributor specifically designed for applications where EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) compatibility is required alongside the HEI ignition conversion. The EFITO designation in the catalog description identifies this unit as compatible with EFI timing control interfaces as well as traditional carburetor applications, making it the correct choice for Fox body Mustangs and late F-series trucks running the factory 5.0L EFI system that want to simplify their ignition while maintaining fuel injection.

Ford 302/5.0L EFI applications use the distributor as a timing reference signal source for the fuel injection computer, and the EP-302HEA-G1 provides the correct signal output for these systems. The 65,000-volt coil, brass cap terminals, and adjustable vacuum advance deliver the same performance specification as the standard 302 HEI unit, while the EFI-compatible timing pickup interface maintains the fuel injection system's ability to manage fuel delivery timing.

Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management with verification for both EFI signal compatibility and standalone HEI operation.

Frequently asked questions

What are the symptoms of a failing HEI distributor?
Common symptoms include hard starting, engine misfires at high RPM, rough idle, loss of power under load, and occasional stalling. A failing HEI module (the most common failure component) typically causes complete spark loss when hot — the engine starts fine when cold, stalls after reaching operating temperature, and may restart after a cool-down period. A worn HEI cap with carbon tracking between towers causes crossfire and cylinder-specific misfires that worsen as the cap deteriorates.
Does the EP-302HEA-G1 come with a cap, rotor, and coil?
Yes. The EP-302HEA-G1 ships as a complete ready-to-run assembly including the distributor housing, 65,000-volt high-output ignition coil, distributor cap with brass terminals, rotor, ignition module, adjustable vacuum advance canister, and hold-down hardware. No additional ignition components are required for installation.
Will the EP-302HEA-G1 work with the factory Ford EFI computer on my Fox body Mustang?
The EP-302HEA-G1 is designed to provide the distributor reference signal that Ford EFI computers use for fuel injection timing. However, some Fox body Mustang EFI systems may require additional calibration or adjustment after changing from the TFI ignition system. We recommend verifying with a Ford EFI specialist that your specific ECU configuration accepts the HEI-format timing signal before installation, particularly on vehicles with factory or aftermarket ECU tuning. For carbureted 302/5.0L applications, the EP-302HEA-G1 functions as a straightforward HEI drop-in.
Is the EP HEI distributor compatible with aftermarket ignition boxes such as MSD?
EP HEI distributors with a magnetic pickup (Ready-to-Run style) are compatible with external ignition boxes including MSD 6-series, 7-series, and 8-series units, as well as equivalent ignition boxes from Mallory, Crane, and Holley. Standard HEI distributors with an internal module operate as standalone units and do not require an external ignition box, though they can be paired with one for additional timing control. Consult the ignition box manufacturer's instructions for the correct connection procedure.
How do I order the EP-302HEA-G1 for export or wholesale?
EP supports single-unit orders for market sampling, carton quantities for repair shops, and container-volume wholesale orders. Standard production lead time is 15-30 days. OEM branding, private-label packaging, and custom color selection are available for qualifying volumes. Contact our team via the inquiry form or WhatsApp for pricing and availability.
