EP-318D HEI Distributor for Chrysler Dodge Mopar Small Block 318 360 V8 (Replaces 3755196)

The EP-318D brings HEI ignition technology to the Chrysler LA small block family — the 318 and 360 cubic inch V8 engines that powered decades of Dodge and Plymouth performance cars, muscle machines, and trucks. The Chrysler LA small block is one of the most respected American V8 designs — the 360 powered the last era of classic Dodge muscle in the 1970s while the 318 provided reliable service in millions of everyday Dart, Demon, and D-series truck applications.

Chrysler's ignition system evolved from points through the Electronic Lean Burn and later Electronic Spark Control systems, all of which aged poorly and became notorious for hot-temperature failures that left drivers stranded. Converting a 318 or 360 to HEI is an increasingly popular choice for Mopar owners seeking to eliminate the chronic ignition problems of the Lean Burn era with a proven, self-contained electronic ignition system.

The EP-318D is dimensioned for Chrysler LA small block distributor geometry — a different specification from the Chevy SBC despite superficial similarities. Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management with Chrysler-specific dimensional verification.

Every EP HEI distributor is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management. Each unit is individually tested for ignition coil output voltage, electronic module switching function, vacuum advance response, and shaft seal integrity before shipment. CE-EMC electromagnetic compatibility certification, UL listing, and UKCA conformity mark ensure full compliance across all major global export markets.
