EP-FD29 Distributor for Ford Taurus Thunderbird 3.8L V6 1988-1995 (Replaces E8DE-12127-AB)

The EP-FD29 is a complete electronic distributor for the Ford 3.8L Essex V6 (232 CID) -- one of Ford's most important and widely-installed V6 engines of the late 1980s and 1990s. The 3.8L Essex powers the Taurus, Thunderbird, Cougar, and Mercury Sable across an eight-year production span, appearing in both naturally aspirated and supercharged configurations in the Thunderbird Super Coupe.

The 3.8L Essex V6 distributor covers a wide fitment range: Ford Taurus 3.8L from 1988 through 1995, Ford Thunderbird 3.8L (including the SC supercharged version) from 1988 through 1997, Mercury Cougar 3.8L through 1996, and Mercury Sable 3.8L. The OEM references span from E8DE-12127-AB through E8SZ-12127-A, covering the production updates across this period.

Ships complete with TFI module, cap, and rotor. The EP-FD29 replaces all major OEM and aftermarket cross-references for this application: E8DE-12127-AB/AC, E8DZ-12127-A, E8SE-12127-AA, E8SZ-12127-A, Cardone 84-2688, and WAI DST2688.

Every EP Ford distributor is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management. Each unit is individually tested for cap-to-rotor alignment, TFI module function (EFI-era units), pickup signal integrity, shaft seal condition, and distributor gear specification before shipment. CE-EMC electromagnetic compatibility certification, UL listing, and UKCA conformity confirm compliance across all major export markets. Units ship complete with cap and rotor -- TFI module included on EFI-era units where applicable.

Founded in 1999 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, EP manufactures over 300 distributor models serving global aftermarket channels. Our Ford Distributor range covers every major Ford engine platform in the distributor era -- the 4.9L inline six, the 5.0L and 5.8L Windsor V8, the 7.5L 460 big block, the 3.0L Vulcan V6, the 3.8L Essex V6, the 2.3L/2.5L HSC four-cylinder, and the classic FE 390/406 and FE 400M/460 big block families.
