Early Flathead racers and
cruisers alike will be
excited to see these front
mount Flathead Distributors!
These distributors are built
around a CNC machined billet
aluminium housing for precise
tolerances. The distributor
is topped off with our own
Crab Cap with spark plug
style terminals for improved
wire connections. Just under
the cap and Rynite race rotor
is MSD's adjustable
mechanical advance. This
assembly features chromoly
construction with TIG-welded
weight pins to secure the
precision fine blanked
weights. MSD supplies
different advance springs and
stop bushings so you can
dial-in an advance curve to
meet your Flathead's specs.
Just under the advance is
MSD's race-proven magnetic
pick-up. This pickup,
combined with a reluctor,
produces accurate trigger
esponsible for firing the MSD
Ignition Control. Bring your
Flathead up to date with MSD
performance.
