1956 Ford Thunderbird Distributors

Specifically designed for use with the Holley 351w Hi-Ram intake manifold, this compact unit shares all of the same great features of our other Holley EFI Dual Sync distributors. The design includes dual Hall Effect sensors for the crankshaft and camshaft signals. It can be used as just a crank speed input, as well as providing a cam sync signal for sequential fueling operation. It is also perfect providing the needed crank and cam signals for Coil-On-Plug applications. The precision-machined shutter wheel design ensures accurate timing, even at very high engine speeds. Holley EFI Dual Sync Distributors are compatible with other EFI systems that support Hall Effect crank and cam sensors.

MSD now offers Ford distributors with steel gears for use with hydraulic roller cams.

The Street Pro-Billet Distributors are the perfect choice for powerful engines that see plenty of street time. This canister provides improved economy and an accurate mechanical advance lets you dial-in an advance curve to match your driving needs. A magnetic pick-up produces accurate trigger signals that remain stable throughout the entire rpm range of your engine and is completely maintenance-free.

The distributor cap & rotor are just two pieces of this type of ignition system which is typically driven by the engine’s camshaft. The distributor is the device that delivers the ignition spark to the spark plugs at a precise time, and spark timing is critical. Any wear or component out of place in this type of system will result in failure. Within the distributor and mounted to it are many individual pieces which allow the distributor and system to be maintained and repaired to keep it in top working order.

“Made from hi-performance 60 KV rated alkyd molding compound for superior protection from “”arc-thru”” and cross-fire. Our cap and rotor kits include nylon rotor hold-down screws. Flame-Thrower dust covers provide a larger air gap around the coil which provides cooler operating temperatures.”
