1975 Ford F-100 Pickup Performance Distributors

Fits Ford 289 – 302 (5.0). Utilizing the durable and dependable High Energy Ignition (HEI) system pioneered by GM, these distributors avoid the unsightly wiring of stock Ford electronic ignition systems by installing this one-piece distributor with an internally positioned coil and module. Easy to install: just connect one 12-volt hot wire to the distributor (has optional tach hook-up). These units offer calibrated advance curves that are optimized for maximum combustion efficiency and for the elimination of detonation damage and throttle ping. Assembled from precision-made parts for advance curve smoothness. Offers longer term durability and a higher voltage spark that permits a bigger spark plug gap, resulting in more power and reduced plug fouling. Each unit includes a high-power coil, a premium hi-dielectric cap with brass terminals, and a low-saturation ignition module. By eliminating the stock-Ford ballast resistor, more ignition voltage results in improved spark. Incorporates easily found High Energy Ignition (HEI) replacement parts. Assembled with upper and lower bushings (stock Ford distributors have only a single bushing). Technical Note: Gear not compatible with roller cams. If using roller cams, please contact the cam manufacturer for proper gear selection.

A legend returns – the tried and true Mallory Unilite Distributor line is back! The easy three wire hookup of the Unilite makes running a stock coil, a Mallory performance coil and even a Mallory HyFire CD ignition a snap. Supplied with a quality cap and rotor, the Mallory Unilite also provides a fully adjustable mechanical advance to dial in the perfect timing curve for a multitude of engine combinations. The Unilite features a compact housing that lends itself well to applications where space is a premium due to tight firewall clearance or blower applications.

Product Features:

• Electronic ignition with a one-piece self-contained optical pickup and module
• Quick and simple 3 wire hookup
• Includes cap and rotor with brass terminals
• Can be used standalone with high performance coils such as the Mallory Promaster Series or add on more power with HYFIRE CD ignition controls
• Compact design for tight clearance applications such as blowers and tight firewall clearance
• Fully adjustable mechanical advance
• Classic Mallory look and styling
• Strong .500″, QPQ coated distributor shaft guided by a ball bearing for long life and great 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.

A distributor’s performance is only as good as its drive gear. MSD Performance has put a great deal of effort into researching and testing a variety of metallurgical compositions, heat treating and coatings to provide you with a durable, accurate and strong distributor gear. MSD engineers have built test fixtures and spent hundreds of hours testing and evaluating the metallurgy of our gears. The result is a special alloy gear that is treated to a low-friction coating process. To you this means long life, an easy break-in period and reliable performance.
