Product Information

Product Details
Part No. 85583
Warranty Details (1 YR REPLACEMENT IF DEFECTIVE)
The Tall Block Distributor has a unique slip collar design. This allows the PN 8558 to fit in most tall block engines that have had the deck height modified.

Product Features:
  • Must be used with an MSD Crank Trigger and MSD Ignition Control
  • Shaft is guided by a sealed ball bearing for long life and high RPM stability
  • Polished steel shaft with a QPQ coating for friction reduction
  • Supplied with bronze gear for race cam applications
  • Large diameter distributor cap to prevent spark scatter associated with high cylinder pressure engines
  • Adjustable slip collar mounting flange for engines with modified deck heights
  • Shaft is guided by a sealed ball bearing and an extra long sintered bushing
  • O-ring seals can be added to modified blocks to improve oil pressure control
  • Designed to fit low in the block to clear firewall and intake combinations
