Buyer beware, THIS IS THE RIGHT SETUP!
I purchased a different style from another manufacturer. It had a typical GM style to Ford adapter that didn’t reach the oil pump drive rod, nearly destroying my fresh engine. I was impatient and didn’t order from this vender due a couple of extra days for shipping. Obviously saved no time with the inferior product. This is the correct set up for a Ford 302 HEI conversion. Worked well right of the box. Made with decent materials and tolerances.

Works great
Photos show red unit installed on a 1983 Ford Bronco with a 302 with one showing the stock unit for comparison. I installed it, set the timing at -10, gave it 12v and it started right up. Awesome solution to the worn old duraspark setup.As for the swap, it was tough. This unit is massive and tall and does not physically fit where the stocker does. I had to reshape the fuel line, add a 2” spacer to lift the air cleaner, use relays to combine ‘start’ and ‘run’ power, and may have to eliminate the on-carb fuel filter. All well worth it in the end but you will have to solve fitment challenges so be prepared for added expenses.

Does the Job well
Very easy to wire up if you order the pigtail separately. None is included. Installed on a 1993 302/5.0l with a Weiand dual plane intake and a Holley Street Warrior (Looks like a regular 4160 to me) carburetor. I need a massive riser , 3" plus, on the carb to get any kind of air-cleaner to fit over this distributor. I recommend tuning this with the vacuum advance unplugged first, since the vacuum advance was way to much for me out of the box. You can then dial in the vacuum advance after everything is perfected.

product is good but doesnt give information on obstructions it causes due to its larger size compared to the original distributor. it signifacantly causes rotation problems when trying to set timing due to the fact that it hits the heater hose fittings ad duel feed carbeurator bowls . it wont alow a full rotation because the electrical plug in the cap hits the bowl and only allows a quarter rotation. so a precise tooth line up when its droped in must be close to where the finished timing should be or very close as to allow a small rotation compensation to set timing. also a large low profile air filter cannot be used for hood clearance as it hits the top of the distributor so a small diameter air filter must be used or you must have clearance for a flush mount tall one unlike me in a 67 mustang where hood clearance is minimal. or an offset base airfilter bottom must be used. but the distributor itself is good but has alot of compensations to overcome from the stock diameter one.

Worked great, for about 15 mins
Distributor lost magnetization therefore it’s useless, I had high hopes based off reviews, and the fact that it started immediately. Then after setting idle and fuel pressure on truck backed down driveway and not 30 ft away it died. Turned over great, tested coil - passed, replaced the Ignition control module as part of testing - nothing, additional testing revealed it’s the magnet. They don’t make a replacement have to change brands to put it in, AND the magnet cost more to replace than I paid for the distributor. Not happy and will not recommend A-team distributor.

Great product. Even better price.
Wow - for the price you can't go wrong. No, it doesn't have instructions. Do calipers and piston rings come with instructions? No. It's a little tight, but come on... you're working on an engine that has the distributor in the FRONT! My 72 olds HEI was a day of four letter words during installation. You may need to get a 1/4" socket with an extension to rotate the oil pump drive a little at a time in ordetail to get the distributor seated all the way. It will mesh fine with the cam, but has a hard time sitting over the oil pump drive. This is necessary to get the rotor positioned exactly where you want it for #1 cylinder because of the tight fitment. I taped the socket to the extension to prevent the socket from somehow disconnecting and dropping inside the engine. Safe insurance to me I guess. I positioned #1 pointing to the front left. Yes, you can put #1 wherever you want on the distributor as long as it's going to cyl 1. Some people think it HAS to be positioned in a certain place and maybe that's why you can run into problems with fitment. For the price, it's awesome. I replaced the points and coil with this unit and of course replaced the plug wires since HEI and points caps have diferent plugs. This is a wonderful upgrade to my daughter's 1973 F100 302ci.

Makes ignition wiring very simple and reliable
The media could not be loaded. I love this distributor, I put this on a non HO 302 which was sitting for years. After a few tries and adjusting the timing, it fired right up. The biggest advantage is the wiring. Only 1 wire coming off the distributor goes to the + terminal on the battery. Completely eliminates the stupid bulky ignition control module that ford used on old engine
