      JEGS 555-40012 HEI Distributor Note:

      • To protect ignition system components, always disconnect all vehicle power sources before performing welding on applications equipped with an HEI distributor. Electrical surges from welding can damage sensitive ignition electronics.

        • Distributors with Power, Reliability, and Simplicity

        The GM HEI (High Energy Ignition) distributor is a self-contained, high-performance ignition system developed by General Motors in the mid-1970s. Known for its reliability, high voltage output, and simplified design, the HEI integrates the ignition coil directly into the distributor cap, reducing wiring complexity and eliminating the need for an external coil or external module. It delivers a stronger and more consistent spark across the RPM range.

        The JEGS High-Performance HEI Street Spark Distributors are a popular upgrade for classic muscle cars, hot rods, & classic trucks, and are available for multiple Ford Engines.
