The EP-5052 is an electronic distributor for the Chevrolet 400 cubic inch small block V8 -- the largest displacement version of the Chevrolet small block, produced from 1970 through 1980. The 400 SBC was used in C/K trucks, full-size Chevrolet passenger cars (Caprice, Impala), Monte Carlo, and various other GM platforms during the emissions era as GM sought to maintain adequate power from a large displacement with lower compression.
The Chevrolet 400 SBC shares the same basic block architecture as the 350 SBC but has a unique bore-stroke combination (4.125 in. bore x 3.75 in. stroke) and specific cooling and oiling considerations. The distributor for the 400 SBC is the same basic unit as the 350 SBC in most cases, but production year and engine management configuration differences may result in different OEM specifications for certain applications.
Verify the OEM part number on your specific 400 CID distributor before ordering to confirm exact fitment.

For later EFI-equipped applications, timing is computer-controlled.
