The Sierra 18-5484-1 is a marine-grade electronic distributor engineered as a direct plug-in replacement for late model GM EST (Electronic Spark Timing) distributors and GM-style fuel injection system distributors. Built with an aluminum housing and a precision combination of a ball bearing and bushing, this distributor delivers optimal timing stability and long service life in demanding marine environments.
Featuring right-hand (conventional) rotation, this unit is designed for GM V8 engines displacing 262–454 cu. in. and 502 cu. in., excluding 384/409 and tall block engines. It meets or exceeds SAE J1171 marine ignition standards for safety and performance. The included steel gear is compatible with both flat tappet and hydraulic roller camshafts, and the high-signal-strength trigger ensures reliable spark delivery across the RPM range.
