Wells 5S1283 Ignition Pick-Up Distributor Magnetic Pickup Coil

The Wells 5S1283 is a direct-fit replacement ignition pick-up coil (also known as a distributor magnetic pickup or ignition pickup stator) designed to restore proper ignition trigger signal performance. Manufactured by Wells Vehicle Electronics — a leading global engineer and supplier of advanced vehicle electronics — this component is built to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) specifications in form, fit, and function.

How It Works:

The ignition pick-up coil is located inside the distributor and is responsible for sending a precise trigger signal to the ignition control module (ICM) or engine control module (ECM), prompting the ignition coil to fire at the correct moment. As the distributor shaft rotates, the reluctor wheel passes the magnetic pickup, generating a voltage signal that triggers spark delivery to the appropriate cylinder.

Key Features:

• Direct OE replacement — matches original fit, form, and function
• Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for durability and reliability
