The EP-3L is a CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum Pro Billet distributor for Holden V8 engines -- MSD's most popular Australian performance distributor is the Pro-Billet Holden unit, and the EP-3L delivers the same race-quality billet construction at factory-direct pricing for the Australian aftermarket. The Holden 308 is the engine at the heart of the most revered Australian muscle cars -- the Monaro GTS, the Torana SL/R 5000, and the HQ and HJ Kingswood -- and serious performance builds on these platforms increasingly run external high-output ignition systems that demand a billet-quality distributor trigger.
The EP-3L is engineered to Holden V8-specific dimensions throughout -- shaft diameter, drive gear profile, and housing dimensions are all specific to the Australian Holden V8 engine architecture. This is not an American V8 unit with an adapter gear; it is a purpose-designed Holden application. The adjustable mechanical advance mechanism ships with multiple spring and bushing sets for custom advance curve configuration, and full advance lockout is available for all-out race applications managed entirely by an external ignition box.
EP exports the EP-3L directly to Australian performance distributors and racing suppliers, providing factory-direct access to Pro Billet Holden ignition hardware. MSD must be used with an MSD 6, 7 or 8-series ignition for the equivalent product; the EP-3L is compatible with any external ignition box that accepts a magnetic pickup trigger signal.

HZPT is the international brand of Ningbo Xianlong Automobile Fittings Co., Ltd., established 1999. Our Pro Billet distributor range covers every major classic performance V8 platform -- Chevrolet SBC/BBC, Ford Windsor/Cleveland, Chrysler/Dodge Mopar small block and big block, and Holden 253/308 -- providing race-quality billet ignition hardware across the complete spectrum of classic American and Australian performance engines.

EP Pro Billet distributors require an external high-output ignition box (MSD 6, 7, or 8-series or equivalent) and an external ignition coil. This configuration gives the racer or performance builder full control over timing advance, rev limiting, and ignition output -- capabilities that self-contained HEI or Ready-to-Run units cannot provide. Wholesale buyers receive factory-direct pricing with no distributor markup on the EP Pro Billet range. EP is part of the Ever-Power Group, also producing PTO drive shafts and a comprehensive range of mechanical transmission products.
