The e-curve distributor will drop right in your Ford 289/302 and fire up its performance. The e-curve distributor features a digital control module that manages the timing curve replacing the centrifugal advance springs and weights. This module lets you select from nearly 100 different advance curves, including a vacuum advance by turning two rotary dials. You can also set an rpm limit that will protect your engine from overrev damage caused by a missed shift or driveline failure. These distributors are also fit with a high-output ignition module so there is no need to run an external ignition box. This combination makes these distributors ideal for restored muscle cars and street rods to keep a stock or clean appearance under the hood. The e-curve distributor is topped with MSD’s rynite molded cap and rotor and is supplied with a heavy-duty gear and a matching 3-pin weathertight wiring harness.

Product Features:

• Digitally controlled; stand-alone distributor.
• Adjustable Electronic Advance w/Vacuum Advance
• Select up to 100 different curves through two rotary dials
• High output ignition module for a powerful spark
• Set a rev limit to protect your engine from overrev damage

When you start making serious power with your EFI Ford, the stock distributor shaft is one of the weak links of the engine. These Pro-Billet models answer the need for an affordable replacement in a strong and great looking package. Each distributor starts as a solid billet that is secured into a state of the art computer numerical control (CNC) machine where it is transformed into a precision housing. Inside each housing there is a sealed ball bearing at the top of the shaft. This design is responsible for accurately guiding the oversized polished steel shaft throughout the entire RPM range of your engine. The shaft is also quip-coated for friction reduction and corrosion resistance. The Pro-Billet distributors use a stock-style trigger pick-up to accept factory connectors. For installation, you simply remove the stock distributor and bolt the Pro-Billet MSD in place! Each model is supplied with a special gear to work with the?factory camshafts.

Product Features:

• Drop in billet replacement for late model Ford TFI 5.8L dist.
• Supplied w/steel gear to work w/factory roller camshafts
• Factory style ignition module connector accepts factory wiring
• CNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum base
• QPQ coated polished steel shaft; guided by sealed ball bearings
• Supplied w/Late Model Distributor Cap And Rotor
• Legal to install in all 50 states
