The EP-FD18 is an electronic distributor covering Ford Bronco and Ranger applications from 1986 through 1992. The Bronco and Ranger shared platform components across this period, and the EP-FD18 covers the specific distributor configuration used in these mid-decade EFI applications. The Ranger compact pickup and full-size Bronco both received EFI systems through this era with distributor configurations specific to their engine and EEC-IV calibration.
The Bronco and Ranger EFI era represents Ford's broad transition from carbureted and Duraspark ignition to EEC-IV computer-controlled EFI across all truck lines. The distributor in these applications carries the TFI module which provides the PIP signal to the EEC-IV computer for fuel and ignition timing management. The 1986-1992 period saw multiple OEM specification updates reflected in the E7TE/E8TE number series.
Verify the OEM part number on your existing distributor to confirm EP-FD18 is the correct variant for your specific Bronco or Ranger year and engine combination. Ships complete with TFI module, cap, and rotor.
