2000 Mercury Mountaineer Distributors

The Pro-Billet Ready-to-Run distributor is the perfect upgrade for outdated points distributors or bulky HEIs. Simply install the distributor in the engine, connect three wires to the coil and fire it up. A maintenance-free magnetic pick-up accurately triggers the module. The increased output of the amplifier easily outperforms stock ignitions and will smooth out the engines idle, improve starting and provide a much higher rpm range. The Ready-to-Run features MSD’s adjustable mechanical advance which allows you to custom tailor an ignition curve to match your engine’s needs. There is also a vacuum advance canister to help improve economy. For positive street performance, the Ready-to-Run is the best choice. Includes a separate tach circuit that is ideal to trigger a tach or an aftermarket EFI such as an Atomic EFI system.

Product Features:

• Simple and clean installation with only three wires to connect
• Supplied with an HEI style distributor cap and rotor (accepts Cap-A-Dapts)
• Does not require an MSD Ignition Control
• CARB E.O. Approved
• Built-in rev limiter to protect your engine
• O-ring seals can be added to modified blocks to improve oil pressure control
• Special oil tract improves lubrication to the distributor and cam gear
• Nylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weights
• Powerful built-in module produces a 7.5 amp single spark through high rpm
• Easy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushings
• Vacuum advance canister for improved economy (can be locked out)
• CNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum base for long life and great looks
• Maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm range

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 MSDs 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 dont 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:

• Must Be Used w/MSD Crank Trigger/MSD Ignition Control
• Shaft Is Guided By Sealed Ball Bearing
• For Long Life and High RPM Stability
• Polished Steel Shaft w/QPQ Coating For Friction Reduction
