Engineered Marine Products

<h3>Engineered Marine Products: Marine-Grade Reliability for Automotive Systems</h3><p>Engineered Marine Products (EMP) brings precision engineering and marine-grade durability to the automotive aftermarket. With over 1,100 specialized components in their catalog, EMP applies the same rigorous standards required for harsh marine environments to create automotive parts that excel in demanding conditions. This manufacturer has built a reputation for producing components that withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and vibration—qualities that translate directly to superior performance in automotive applications.</p><h3>Climate Control and Electrical Components</h3><p>One of EMP's core specialties lies in climate control system protection. Their <a href="/13199-engineered-marine-products-hvac-cut-off-switch-4209">HVAC cut-off switches</a> provide critical safety functions for heating and air conditioning systems, automatically interrupting power flow when pressure thresholds are exceeded. These switches serve as essential safeguards against compressor damage and system failures, making them indispensable for maintaining optimal cabin comfort and protecting expensive HVAC components from catastrophic failure.</p><h3>Transmission Control Technology</h3><p>Modern automatic transmissions rely on precise hydraulic control to manage gear changes smoothly and efficiently. EMP's <a href="/13199-engineered-marine-products-automatic-transmission-control-solenoid-7752">automatic transmission control solenoids</a> regulate transmission fluid pressure with exceptional accuracy, ensuring seamless shifts and optimal power delivery. These electro-hydraulic components play a vital role in transmission longevity, as proper solenoid function prevents harsh shifting, slippage, and premature wear of internal clutch packs and bands.</p><h3>Engine Cooling Solutions</h3><p>Maintaining proper engine temperature is fundamental to performance and longevity. EMP manufactures <a href="/13199-engineered-marine-products-engine-water-pump-2208">engine water pumps</a> that circulate coolant throughout the engine block, cylinder heads, and radiator system. Drawing on their marine heritage where cooling system reliability is non-negotiable, these water pumps feature durable construction with corrosion-resistant materials and precision-machined components. A failing water pump can lead to overheating and catastrophic engine damage, making quality replacement parts essential for any cooling system service.</p><h3>Engineering Philosophy</h3><p>What sets Engineered Marine Products apart is their commitment to over-engineering components for extreme conditions. Marine applications demand parts that can handle saltwater corrosion, constant vibration, and temperature fluctuations—challenges that also exist in automotive environments. This design philosophy results in parts with enhanced durability, longer service life, and greater reliability than standard replacement components. Whether you're servicing climate control systems, transmission repairs, or cooling system maintenance, EMP provides components engineered to exceed expectations.</p>

Key Features:

  • Designed for 1983-84 MerCruiser V6 185 HP GM and MIE engines
  • Compatible with Prestolite screw-down cap distributors
  • Constructed from durable materials with excellent dielectric properties to resist moisture and corrosion
  • Features secure screw-down mounting for reliable connection in marine conditions
  • Engineered Marine Products quality with 2-year limited warranty

This distributor cap is an essential ignition system component that channels high-voltage electricity from the ignition coil to the spark plugs in proper firing order. The screw-down design provides a more secure connection compared to clip-style caps, making it ideal for marine applications where vibration and moisture are common challenges. EMP has been a trusted supplier to the marine industry for over 40 years, delivering OEM-quality replacement parts at competitive prices.

Easy to use

Nice and quick

I ordered a set of inner tie rods for my car from Autoplicity and found their prices to be the lowest online for the brand I was looking for. Items were ship out in 2 business days from the original manufacturer. Shipping prices were kind of on the expensive end considering the package size and weight so if Autoplicity adjust their shipping prices to be more competitive, I think their service and pricing would be hard to beat!

Easy

easy ordering

Best price around...Thanks

Easy to order with the Amazon connectivity

Communication was acceptable and shipping times within initial promise. Would and will buy from them again...

Good
