The MSD Ford 289/302 Crank Trigger distributor uses the same low-profile design as MSD's other Crank Trigger distributors — a Rynite-molded Ford-style cap and wire retainer sit over just a rotor, so the housing stays low enough to clear busy intake setups. With no advance assembly or pickup of its own, it must run with an MSD Crank Trigger and an MSD Ignition Control. A ball bearing guides the polished, QPQ-coated steel shaft, and a bronze gear is included for race cam applications, all in a standard-height Ford housing that works with cast intake manifolds.
