The MSD Ford 351C-460 Crank Trigger distributor is built with a low-profile cap assembly to clear busy intake setups, topped with MSD's Rynite-molded Ford-style cap and wire retainer — since there's only a rotor under the cap, the housing sits low. These distributors don't have an advance assembly or pickup, so they must be run with an MSD Crank Trigger. A ball bearing is pressed into the housing to guide the polished, QPQ-coated steel shaft, and each unit ships with a bronze gear for race cam applications. The housing is a standard-height Ford distributor design so it works with cast intake manifolds.
