Building a new SBF 302 for my hotrod and decided to go this route for the distributor.I havent ran the engine yet but will edit my report if needed.I reached out to Pertronix to make sure it was the right one and also to clarify that it has the STEEL gear ... not a cast iron or bronze gear .. I wanted STEEL and it is . They also recomended what coil to uses as well ... very helpful

CAUTION - I have been through two of these distributors and both have the same critical defect. Right out of the box I measured the distance between the distributor housing seating surface (just below the clamping surface) and the bottom thrust face of the distributor gear. This is a well known Ford specification of 4.031" to 4.038" which ensures the drive gear is sitting on the thrust surface down inside the block. On BOTH units I have found the dimension to be 4.003" to 4.005" when measured in accordance with Ford's instructions. These distributors would eat themselves up (at the top of the distributor housing) if I had installed them. Look elsewhere if you are wise.

I've used these distributors multiple times for various cars and they fit, look, and work exactly as I need them too.I've never had an issue.

Very poorly made. It's a points style distributor with one of their points eliminator kits installed. Not a purpose made electronic distributor like I would expect it to be. I returned it right away, after all I could have just put an eliminator kit on my original distributor and saved time, money, and hassle.

Would never buy one of their products again. Completely destroyed my cam and now have to rebuild my motor!

works great but make sure you follow the directions, red wire must go to 12V and not to the + on the coil like earlier models.

dont be fooled by advertising or a salesman telling you this has a "cast iron" drive gear. the gear is in fact "hardened" and will destroy the camshaft drivegear in a stock 289 or 302 non-roller engine. the gear that comes with the distributor is the exact same steel gear summit and others sell. a cast drive gear would be all rough and look like the casting of your OEM manifold or the side of your engine block. the gear that comes with the pertronix is a smooth machined STEEL gear. BTW, Pertronix customer service SUCKS!! they never replied to my emails asking about the drive gear material. Fortunately the distributor itself is very good, so I bought a cast iron drive gear and swapped out the "hardened" gear. also, the installation instructions are fuzzy at best. unless you really look at them it is very easy to hook up the distributor wrong. all you hasve to remember is that the red lead from the distributor MUST go to a switched 12v lead. I would buy another knowing that I had to spend an additional 40 bucks for the correct cast iron drive gear.
