    Built for racing engines with almost no clearance due to tunnel rams or blowers, this super tall block distributor pairs a low-profile crab-style cap with an adjustable slip collar for engines with modified deck heights.

    Specifications:

    • Category: Ignition
    • Color: Red
    • Distributor Type: Crank Trigger
    • Gear: Bronze
    • Product Type: Distributor
    • Part Number: 8486

    Must be used with an MSD 6, 7, or 8-series ignition and a crank trigger. The housing stands 0.500" taller for extra-tall blocks such as the Allen Root or Rocket, and optional O-rings improve oil pressure control.
