    MSD's popular Ford big block billet distributor, now supplied with a steel gear for engines requiring one due to specific camshaft compatibility. A chromoly mechanical advance assembly, TIG-welded and QPQ coated, glides on nylon bushings for smooth advancement, and a QPQ-coated steel shaft guided by a sealed ball bearing delivers stable timing signals at any rpm.

    • Distributor Type: Magnetic Pickup

    Must be used with an MSD ignition control. Supplied with Cap-A-Dapt and rotor (accepts MSD socket-style caps). Will not clear some factory-style Shaker hood scoops.
