Part #: 83775

These distributors have a low-profile cap assembly to clear busy intake set-ups and are topped with MSD's new Rynite-molded Ford-style cap and wire retainer. The low design is accomplished because the only thing under the cap is a rotor! These distributors don't have an advance assembly or pick-up so they must be used with a Crank Trigger. Since these distributors are designed for racing applications, a ball bearing is pressed into the housing to guide the polished steel shaft. Each distributor is supplied with a bronze gear.Blue oval racers will be happy to see these Crank Trigger Distributors. The housing of these three distributors are standard-height Ford Distributors so they will work with cast intake manifolds.Must be used with an MSD Crank Trigger and MSD Ignition ControlPolished steel shaft with a QPQ coating for friction reductionShaft is guided by a sealed ball bearing for long life and high RPM stabilitySupplied with bronze gear for race cam applicationsLarge diameter distributor cap to prevent spark scatter associated with high cylinder pressure enginesDetails:Distributor Cap Included: YesDistributor Type: Crank TriggerEmission Code: 4Engine: Ford 351C-460Gear: BronzeGear Material: BronzeIgnition Box Required: YesIgnition Coil Included: NoIgnition Rotor Included: YesQuantity: 1Warranty: Manufacturer's Limited 1 Year Warranty
