Sierra Distributor 18-26112-1, Replaces 980902 and Mallory YL512CV, for Most Ford 302 CID V-8 Engines

The Sierra 18-26112-1 is a marine ignition distributor built for most Ford 302 CID V-8 marine engines. As the timing hub of the ignition system, the distributor routes high-voltage spark from the coil to each cylinder in the correct firing order, so a worn, corroded, or intermittently firing distributor directly translates into rough idle, misfires, hard starting, or a no-start condition. Replacing it with the Sierra 18-26112-1 restores factory-correct ignition timing and spark distribution for the engine platform it is designed for.

This distributor is sold as a direct replacement unit and is cross-referenced to the OEM and Mallory part numbers it supersedes, making it straightforward to confirm you are ordering the correct replacement for your Ford 302 CID V-8 marine engine. It weighs 4 pounds as shipped.
