Overview

The MSD Black Ready-to-Run Distributor is a performance ignition component designed for Ford 351C, 429, and 460 Big Block 385 Series engines. It features a magnetic trigger and includes vacuum and mechanical advance capabilities, allowing for tailored timing curves. The distributor is built with an oversized steel shaft that spins in a sealed ball bearing for stability and endurance, while an extra-long sintered bushing guides the shaft at the base. This ready-to-run unit integrates a built-in ignition module, eliminating the need for an external ignition box.

MSD now offers Ford distributors with steel gears for use with hydraulic roller cams.We've taken the trouble out of the mix with our line of popular Ford distributor applications that come with a steel gear installed ready for hydraulic roller cams. Whether you're working with a crate engine or building your own combination, MSD has the performance distributor ready.In the world of modern engine design, it's hard to beat a hydraulic roller camshaft for all-around performance. It's crucial to match the distributor gear with the cam material to prevent premature failure of the cam or distributor gear which can lead to engine damage.Ford distributors present a challenge when changing the distributor gear due to their pressed fit, the need to cross drill the distributor shaft and set the gear to a specific height.CNC Machined Billet Aluminum Housing and Billet Aluminum BaseSteel Gear InstalledAdvance 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 systemsAdvance weight pins are staked and tig welded to the platePolished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearingEasy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushingsNylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weightsMaintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm rangeDetails:Distributor Cap Included: YesDistributor Type: Ready To RunEmission Code: 3Engine: Ford 351C-460Gear: SteelGear Material: Steel Melonized QPQ CoatedIgnition Box Required: NoIgnition Coil Included: NoIgnition Rotor Included: YesWarranty: Manufacturer's Limited 1 Year Warranty
