Description
Part #: 85804
Ford owners with distributor clearance issues due to blowers, air cleaners, or any other parts interference will love MSD's low profile, crab cap style distributor. The use of a crab cap allows the spark plug wires to exit the side of the distributor cap significantly lowering the overall height.
Features:
- Low Profile, crab cap for optimal clearance in tight areas
- Supplied with a STEEL distributor gear, compatible with MOST hydraulic roller cam applications
- Must be used with an MSD Ignition Control
- Nylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weights
- Advance weight pins are staked and tig welded to the plate for strength and durability
- Mechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systems
- Advance plate and weights are fine blanked from chrome moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reduction
- Polished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearing
- Maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm range
- CNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum base
- Easy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushings provide the ability to create a timing curve perfect for your engine
