MSD's Ready-to-Run Ford Distributors are the perfect upgrade for bulky DuraSpark systems or ancient breaker point models. These distributors come complete and ready-to-run. All you need to do is drop it in the engine, connect three wires and fire the engine. Each distributor features an ignition module that produces a powerful inductive spark to improve combustion of the fuel mixture resulting in quick starts, smooth idle and increased performance. The billet aluminum housings of these distributors are 5/8" smaller in diameter to accommodate induction setups and tight engine compartments. A maintenance-free magnetic pickup is responsible for triggering the high voltage sparks while a sealed ball bearing guides an oversized shaft.Beneath the bolt down cap and MSD race rotor you'll find MSD's accurate mechanical advance assembly. Different advance springs and stop bushings are supplied so you can easily tune a curve to match your needs. Plus, there is a vacuum advance canister to increase economy on long drives. For protection, there is also an easy-to-set rev limiter!Features:Now includes built-in Rev Limiter!Powerful built-in module produces a 7.5 amp single spark through high rpmEasy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushingsVacuum advance canister for improved economy (can be locked out)CNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum baseHousing is 5/8” smaller in diameter than stock Ford distributorsMaintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm rangePolished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearingAdvance 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 plateNylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weightsSupplied with Black Small Diameter Cap with HEI style terminals and race rotor (will accept 8441 Cap-A-Dapt)Does not require an MSD Ignition ControlSimple and clean installation with only three wires to connectNote: Will not fit XD and later Australian 351 Cleveland engines.

From super speedways to road courses, land speed racing to top fuel dragsters, and of course your traditional hot rod, MSD has provided the components to fire nearly anything in motorsports. MSD was the first company to develop and offer the multiple sparking, capacitive discharge ignition for engines. The line of MSD 6-Series Ignitions are the most popular aftermarket ignitions in the world due to our race-proven performance on the track and our reliability on the street! Early on, MSD focused squarely on ignition systems with revolutionary products like the multiple sparking CD ignition, timing and rev controls, billet aluminum distributors and the Pro-Mag, an incredible breakthrough in power and endurance.
