For Ford enthusiasts that are serious about performance! Just under the brass terminals of the MSD cap and rotor is an easy-to-adjust mechanical advance assembly. The assembly is fine blanked from Chromoly Steel, TIG-welded for strength plus receives a QPQ coating. The precision weights glide on nylon bushings for smooth advancement and different springs and stop bushings are supplied so a variety of advance curves can be tuned. The adjustable mechanical advance assembly allows you to accurately and easily modify the advance curve to match your specific application. The steel shaft that spins the advance and reluctor receives a friction-reducing coating and is guided by a sealed ball bearing and long sintered bushing. This combination provides stable timing signals and spark delivery at any rpm. Triggering chores are handled by MSD's race-proven, maintenance-free magnetic pick-up. MSD premium distributors come complete with a race rotor and alkyd cap.The 85827 Distributor comes with Bronze Gear 8583 already installed and is designed for camshafts requiring a bronze distributor gear:- Made of a bronze/aluminum/nickel alloy (AMPCO 45)- Softer material will not damage the camshaft- Used with billet steel cams- Should be changed more frequently than other gear materialsMust be used with MSD ignition.Features:Pre-installed Bronze Gear for aftermarket billet roller camshaftsGear machined from AMPCO 45 aluminum bronze containing 5% NickelCNC machined billet 6061-T6 aluminum housingMaintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm rangeEasy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushingsNylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weightsAdvance weight pins are staked and TIG welded to the plateAdvance plate and weights are fine blanked from chrome moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reductionPolished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearingMechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systemsSupplied with Cap-A-Dapt and rotor (accepts MSD socket style caps)Must be used with an MSD Ignition Control
