Kent 45D electronic distributor
This distributor has made the world of difference to my Mk1 Capri. Starts and runs faultlessly from cold and is a lot smoother to drive. Wished I'd junked the old one years ago!

Product and Service
The distributor, although different in make, was a straight and easy swap in my Mk1 Escort, despite it having a ballast ignition system. In addition, the customer service from the team was outstanding, with quick responses to questions. Thank you.

Works at first time!!!
I purchased this distributor for a 1973 Cortina MK 3 car with an OHV 1600 CC cross flow engine. I was tired of cleaning and replacing the contact points and wanted an upgrade. Went with the D74 electronic distributor. Observation: I find the electric spark between the spark plug points are much wider (about 3 mm) and denser with the electronic ignition distributor than with the distributor with contact points for the same ignition coil. Installation: Very simple: Red wire to positive terminal of the coil and black wire to negative terminal on coil. Make sure to set the ignition timing with an timing torch.
