Ford Custom 500 Distributors

Chrome plated steel. Includes hold-down bolt or stud. Holds the distributor in place for accurate timing. Serrated bottom prevents the distributor from turning.

Competition design uses a stud, washer & nut to secure the clamp rather than a bolt. The clamp itself is also chromed.

Mallory distributor gears are precision machined from alloy steel in our factory to exact original equipment specs. For use with cast flat tappet hydraulic/mechanical cams and austempered ductile iron roller cams.

This special com­bination of bronze and nickel creates high-strength gear teeth that are less prone to wear even with high-volume oil pumps.

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.

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.

The MSD 8421 Adjustable Cap-A-Dapt Distributor Rotor is a premium, precision-engineered performance upgrade designed by MSD Performance to solve rotor phasing problems and deliver perfect ignition synchronization under heavy racing or electronic engine management modifications.

“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.”

Modern vehicles may have 100 or more electrical harness connectors in every operating system of the vehicle. Terminal tension may weaken with time or corrosion may occur within the connector housing making replacement necessary. When replacing any harness-connector assembly approved wire termination methods must be followed to ensure a successful and long-term solution. A failed terminal connection, terminal corrosion or damaged wire will result in an electrical system or operating system fault.

TSP’s HEI Distributor has everything you need, all under one cap. With a high-quality aluminum housing and hardened steel dual bushing construction, it is built to last. It features fully adjustable mechanical and vacuum advances, meaning precision is a breeze. It has a high-output module, high-spark 65,000 volt coil, solid brass terminals, and an easy one-wire hookup. So, if you’re looking to switch that Windsor from EFI to carbureted, look no further for your ignition set-up.

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

The charging system has been required as long as we have had a need for an electrical system and from research it’s been since the requirement of horns in motor vehicle in the early 1900’s. An alternator is a voltage generator that uses mechanical energy to rotate a set of magnets within a field of windings called a stator. The alternating current (AC) voltage created by the spinning magnetic field is converted into a usable direct current (DC) voltage with a rectifier and then regulated by a voltage regulator so that the voltage level in the electrical system stays within a specific operating range. The alternator provides all the voltage needed to operate a vehicle, the battery is only used as a reserve for heavier load conditions, as a voltage source for the engine starting system, and to supply a small amount of voltage to the electromagnets in the alternator which boosts the magnetic field in the alternator and increases voltage output.
