The EP-9-1 is a CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum Pro Billet distributor for the Ford 351 Windsor -- one of the most enduring and respected Ford V8 engines, produced continuously from 1969 through the late 1990s and powering race-winning Mustangs, Torinos, and F-series trucks. The 351W is a popular basis for serious performance builds due to its robust bottom end and extensive aftermarket cylinder head and induction support, and the EP-9-1 delivers the billet-quality ignition trigger accuracy these builds demand.
The EP-9-1 is dimensioned specifically for the 351 Windsor's shaft depth -- it is NOT interchangeable with the 351 Cleveland or 289/302 small block. The Windsor's longer deck height requires a distributor with the correct shaft length for proper reluctor depth and drive gear engagement. Installing a 289/302 or Cleveland-dimensioned billet distributor in a 351W will result in incorrect shaft depth, timing instability, and rapid drive gear wear.
Like all EP Pro Billet distributors, the EP-9-1 requires an external ignition box (MSD 6A, 6AL, 7AL-2, 8-Plus, or equivalent) and an external coil. The magnetic pickup trigger signal can drive any standard magnetic-pickup-compatible ignition box, giving the builder full flexibility in ignition system choice regardless of brand.

Key features
351 Windsor-specific shaft depth
Correctly dimensioned for the 351W deck height -- not interchangeable with 289/302 (shorter) or 351 Cleveland (different architecture). Critical for correct drive gear engagement.
CNC 6061-T6 billet housing
Aerospace-grade billet aluminum housing machined to tight tolerances for precision shaft alignment and consistent trigger signal accuracy at race RPM.
Adjustable advance with lockout for 351W race builds
Advance curve tunable for modified 351W combinations with performance camshafts and high compression. Full lockout available for external ignition box control.
NOT compatible with 351 Cleveland
Ford produced the 351W and 351C simultaneously from 1970-1974. They are completely different engines. The EP-9-1 is 351W only -- order EP-9 for Cleveland/429/460.

Application scenarios
Boss 351 and Mach 1 race performance
Boss 351 and Mach 1 owners building serious performance versions use the EP-9-1 for billet-quality ignition trigger accuracy in their MSD-equipped 351W builds.
351W-powered street/strip Mustang
Street/strip Mustang builders with stroked 351W combinations and external ignition boxes use the EP-9-1 for the highest available distributor accuracy.
Ford Windsor specialist wholesale supply
Performance shops specializing in Ford Windsor applications stock the EP-9-1 as the billet-quality option alongside the R2R EP-2CM-1 for their different customer tiers.
Installation guide
Confirm engine is 351 Windsor (not 351 Cleveland). Disconnect battery. Lower EP-9-1 to correct 351W shaft depth -- do not substitute a 289/302 or Cleveland distributor as shaft lengths differ. Connect magnetic pickup wires to external ignition box per box manufacturer wiring diagram. Connect ignition box output to external coil negative terminal. Set base timing with timing light. Configure advance at ignition box. Approximately 45-60 minutes.

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 planetary gearboxes and a comprehensive range of mechanical transmission products.
