The EP-318B is a CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum Pro Billet distributor for the Chrysler LA small block V8 family -- the 318, 340, and 360 cubic inch engines that powered some of the most celebrated Mopar muscle cars of the golden era. The 340 cubic inch engine is particularly revered for its high-revving character, excellent factory power output, and receptiveness to modification, making it a favorite basis for serious Mopar performance builds.
Small-diameter billet housing is a design priority for Mopar Pro Billet distributors. Many Chrysler performance builders use aftermarket cylinder heads (such as the Edelbrock or Indy heads derived from the 'B1' racing head), modified valve covers, or tall intake manifolds that conflict with standard-diameter distributors. Since many Chrysler enthusiasts use the B1 head or aftermarket valve covers, these Pro-Billet Chrysler Distributors have been designed with a small diameter -- the EP-318B follows this same design principle.
Critical fitment note: the EP-318B is designed for the classic Chrysler LA small block only (pre-1992 318, 340, 360). It is NOT compatible with the Mopar Magnum 5.2L and 5.9L engines introduced in 1992. The EP-318B requires an external ignition box and external coil to operate.

Founded in 1999 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, EP operates CNC machining centers and automated production lines dedicated to automotive ignition components. The Pro Billet series is machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum billet -- the same alloy designation used by MSD, Speedmaster, and Pertronix in their own billet distributor lines -- on modern CNC mills and lathes producing tolerances of ±0.001 inch or better throughout the housing.

Each Pro Billet distributor features an oversized hardened steel shaft supported by a top-mounted sealed ball bearing and extra-long sintered steel bushing, delivering precise rotor-to-terminal geometry at sustained operation above 8,000 RPM. The adjustable mechanical advance assembly ships with multiple spring and bushing sets for custom advance curve configuration. EP is part of the Ever-Power Group, also producing drive chains and a comprehensive range of mechanical transmission products.
