MSD Ignition – Distributor; Ford Y Block; Ready-to-Run (Part No.8383)

Distributor; Ford Y Block; Ready-to-Run

from

$655.99
MSD is excited to offer two ready-to-run distributors for two classic Ford engines. These distributors are the answer to weak breaker points or rebuilt aftermarket models. Inside the billet housing there is a high-output ignition module. When the maintenance-free magnetic pick-up signals the module to fire, up to 7.5 amps is sent to the coil where a powerful spark is created. This improved spark output results in quick starts, snappy throttle response and terrific drivability. The distributors are equipped with a vacuum advance canister for cruising economy. Plus, there is a mechanical advance assembly that is mounted on top of the distributor shaft making it easy to adjust the advance to meet your needs. Another great feature of the ready-to-run distributors is their simple installation. All you need to do is connect three wires and you’ll be cruising.

Product Features:
  • Now includes built-in Rev Limiter
  • No CARB Exemption Order Number
  • Does not require an MSD Ignition Control
  • Built-in module produces a 7.5 amp single spark through high rpm
  • Vacuum advance canister for improved economy (can be locked out)
