MSD Distributor Ready To Run Billet Aluminum With Steel Gear 352/ 360/ 390/ 427/ 428

If you are running a hydraulic cam in your Ford 352, 360, 390, 427 or 428 FE engine, this new Ready to Run Billet Aluminum Distributor with a Steel Gear 85951 from MSD is the perfect upgrade for the ignition system. It's crucial to match the distributor gear with the cam material to prevent premature failure of the cam or distributor gear which can lead to engine damage.

Ford distributors present a challenge when changing the distributor gear due to their pressed fit, the need to cross drill the distributor shaft and set the gear to a specific height. MSD has taken the trouble out of the mix with the Ready to Run line of distributors that come with a steel gear installed ready for hydraulic roller cams. Whether you’re working with a crate engine or building your own combination, MSD has the performance distributor ready.
