Electronic Distributor Kit For Ford Capri X-Flow 1200cc 71BB
Stop spending weekends chasing firing marks and replacing fragile contact breakers. This SherryBerg 71BB electronic distributor kit swaps out your old point system inside a Ford Motorcraft FoMoCO distributor. You receive crisp, reliable sparks that start your engine faster and run noticeably smoother. The robust alloy construction handles heat and road vibration, letting you focus on driving instead of constant tuning.
The kit converts a classic four cylinder distributor into modern electronic switching. You can install it directly into 1200cc and 1500cc pre-crossflow engines, as well as 1300cc and 1600cc crossflow setups. It also works with Zephyr V4 layouts and early 2000cc Pinto blocks found in Cortinas, Escort MK2s, Granadas, Transits, and select Capris. Keep a clean workspace when removing the old condenser, and ensure the new module sits flush against the plate to prevent overheating. Your older vehicle will idle steadier once the timing is locked down.
Benefits & tips
- Digital Timing Light Use an electronic meter to set static timing before connecting the coil wire.
