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.

Product Features:

• All products are constructed to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Cap terminal conductor wires formed with precision guided machines to ensure precise final location in the final housing assembly.
• Terminal inserts manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure a guaranteed electrical connection between the cap conductor wires and spark plug wire terminals.
• Distributor rotor blade coated with RFI coating to prevent electrical magnetic interference with the vehicles electrical system.
• Distributor and rotor housings manufactured using the latest plastic technologies to guarantee di-electric strength and long life cycle.

Blue oval racers will be happy to see these crank trigger distributors. The housing of these three distributors are standard-height Ford distributors so they will work with cast intake manifolds. These distributors have a low-profile cap assembly to clear busy intake set-ups and are topped with MSD’s new Rynite-molded ford-style cap and wire retainer. The low design is accomplished because the only thing under the cap is a rotor! These distributors don’t have an advance assembly or pick-up so they must be used with a crank trigger. Since these distributors are designed for racing applications, a ball bearing is pressed into the housing to guide the polished steel shaft. Each distributor is supplied with a bronze gear.

Product Features:

• Standard height housings designed to work w/cast intake manifolds
• CNC machined billet aluminum housing and DuPont Rynite base
• Polished Steel Shaft w/QPQ Coating For Friction Reduction
• QPQ coated polished steel shaft; guided by sealed ball bearings
• Must Be Used w/An MSD Crank Trigger And MSD Ignition Control
• Supplied w/Large Diameter HEI Style Distributor Cap And Rotor
• Supplied w/Bronze Gear
• No CARB exemption order number

The Pro-Billet Y-Block Distributor is built around a CNC-machined billet aluminum housing that is fit with a sealed ball bearing guide for stability and endurance. From timing accuracy, a maintenance-free magnetic pickup reliably triggers the MSD Ignition Control.

Product Features:

• Vacuum advance canister for improved economy (can be locked out)
• CNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum base
• Maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor
• Creates stable trigger signals throughout the rpm range
• QPQ coated polished steel shaft; guided by sealed ball bearings
• Advance plate and weights are fine blanked from chrome moly steel
• QPQ coated for friction reduction
