MSD engineers fit all of their high performance distributor experience into a special compact housing designed to be less obtrusive for Ford engines. The diameter of the special cap and housing are 5/8 Inch smaller than stock Ford distributors providing extra room in front of the engine. The new MSD cap features spark plug style terminals and is firmly screwed down to the housing.Mounted to the top of this shaft is a fully adjustable mechanical advance assembly. The rate at which the chromoly assembly advances the timing is easily controlled by changing the supplied advance springs and stop bushing for total advance.The distributor relies on MSD's race proven magnetic pickup and precision reluctor to deliver accurate trigger signals to the MSD Ignition throughout high rpm. The reluctor assembly is turned by a hardened steel shaft which rides in a sealed ball bearing for high rpm stability and endurance.Polished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearingBillet housing is 5/8 smaller in diameter than stock Ford distributorsEasy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushingsAdvance weight pins are staked and tig welded to the plateMust be used with an MSD Ignition ControlCNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum baseAdvance plate and weights are fine blanked from chrome moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reductionMechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systemsSupplied with small diameter cap with HEI style terminals and race rotor (will accept 8441 Cap-A-Dapt)Nylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weightsNo CARB Exemption Order NumberMaintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm rangeDetails:Distributor Cap Included: YesDistributor Type: Magnetic PickupEmission Code: 1Engine: Ford 351WGear: Cast IronGear Material: Cast Iron Melonized QPQ CoatedIgnition Box Required: YesIgnition Coil Included: NoIgnition Rotor Included: YesWarranty: Manufacturer's Limited 1 Year Warranty
