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" 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. 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.
Mounted to the top of this
shaft is a fully adjustable
mechanical advance assembly.
The rate at which the
chro-moly assembly advances
the timing is easily
controlled by changing the
supplied advance springs and
stop bushing for total
advance.
