The EP-3M-6B is an electronic distributor for the Chrysler Australia 245 and 265 cubic inch Hemi six-cylinder engines -- the uniquely Australian-specification inline six that powered the Chrysler Valiant and Valiant Charger. The Chrysler Australia Hemi six (so named for its hemispherical combustion chambers, different from the US 426 Hemi V8) is a distinctive engine family developed specifically for the Australian market and produced from 1970 through 1981.

The Valiant Charger equipped with the 265 Hemi six -- particularly the E38, E49, and E55 high-performance variants -- is one of the most celebrated Australian muscle cars, and the Hemi six is revered in the Australian performance community for its strong power output and resilience. Electronic ignition conversion is a recommended upgrade for the longevity of these high-performance Valiant applications.

EP exports the EP-3M-6B to Australian aftermarket suppliers serving the Valiant and Charger enthusiast community -- a passionate and active collector group with high demand for quality ignition components.

Frequently asked questions

What are the symptoms of a failing GM EFI distributor?
Common failure symptoms for GM EFI distributors of this era include intermittent no-start conditions, engine stalling at operating temperature, erratic idle quality, loss of power under acceleration, and check engine codes related to the distributor reference signal or cam position sensor. The Vortec-era distributors (1996-2002) are particularly known for plastic housing cracking or warping from heat cycling, which allows oil or coolant contamination of the optical or magnetic pickup sensor inside the housing. The LT1 Optispark distributors (1992-1994) are known for moisture infiltration that degrades the optical sensor window, typically producing a characteristic hard cold-start condition that improves as the engine warms up.
Does the EP-3M-6B ship with the cap, rotor, and all necessary sensors?
Yes. The EP-3M-6B ships as a complete plug-and-play assembly including the distributor body, distributor cap, rotor, and all internal sensors required for operation in the listed applications. For Optispark LT1 units, the optical sensor assembly is included as part of the complete distributor. For standard EFI units, the magnetic pickup and cam position reference sensor are integrated into the assembly. No additional ignition components are required beyond the standard ignition module and coil already present on your vehicle.
Is the Chrysler Australia 245/265 Hemi six related to the US Chrysler 426 Hemi V8?
No. The Chrysler Australia Hemi six shares only the 'Hemi' name with the US 426 Hemi V8. The Australian Hemi six is an inline six-cylinder engine designed specifically for the Australian market by Chrysler Australia, featuring hemispherical combustion chambers on an inline configuration. It has no parts commonality with US Chrysler engines. The EP-3M-6B is designed specifically for this Australian-market inline six and is not interchangeable with US Chrysler V8 distributors.
Do I need to reset the timing after installing this distributor?
For most GM EFI applications of this era, the distributor does not require timing adjustment after replacement if the engine is set to top dead center (TDC) before the old distributor is removed and the new unit is installed in the same position. Most 1987-1995 GM TBI and EFI applications use a computer-controlled timing advance that does not require a timing light for replacement -- align the distributor housing marks and the rotor to the same position as the original unit. For 1992-1994 LT1 Optispark applications, the base timing is not adjustable in the field; the Optispark provides a crankshaft-referenced timing signal and the PCM controls all timing advance. Consult the factory service manual for your specific vehicle year and engine for the correct installation procedure.
How do I order the EP-3M-6B for export or wholesale?
EP supports single-unit orders for market sampling, carton quantities for repair shops and parts counters, and container-volume wholesale orders. Standard production lead time is 15-30 days. OEM branding and private-label packaging are available for qualifying volumes. Contact our team via the inquiry form or WhatsApp for pricing and availability.
