    • Mech. advance assem. can be locked out for crank trigger systems

  • Do yourself and your Poncho a favor and replace your points distributor with a Ready-to-Run model. Youll never have to adjust or replace the points again and your car will run better thanks to the hot MSD sparks. Inside the CNC-machined billet housing there is an ignition module that produces a much hotter spark which will improve the performance of your engine. Also, since timing advance is important to Pontiac engines, the mechanical advance can easily be adjusted with the supplied advance springs and stop bushings. Plus, theres a vacuum advance canister to help economy at moderate cruise speeds. Another great benefit of the MSD Ready-to-Run distributor is the mechanical advance. The weights and assembly are fine-blanked from chromoly for absolute precision resulting in smooth timing changes. You can set up a timing curve to match your engines specifications easily with the supplied advance springs and bushings plus there is a vacuum advance for economy. The Distributor is supplied with the MSD Cap, Race Rotor, wire retainer and gear.

      I received this product, from the manufacturer, damaged. I immediately sent an email to AutoPartsWAY who had a new shipped to me before I even mailed the old one back to the company. The new one worked great.

      This distributor was installed in a 1949 Ford V8 original flathead along with a new coil, wires, plugs, Holley 4 barrel carb and electric fuel pump. The engine starts SO easy and runs strong. The distributor installed very easy, instructions great. Engine timing was not a problem.I did initially have a poor connection from ignition switch to coil, which caused it not to start. You need to make sure you have 12 volts at coil not only initially, but also when engine is cranking - the distributor needs a lot more current flow than the original points/distributor/coil setup.

      Direct bolt on improvement in replacing the original Ford distributor. According to MSD this is for 94-95 Mustang 5.0L only but it is also an unstated direct replacement for 91-93 Thunderbird/Cougar.

      Very nice quality item. Installed as per complete instructions. Kit was missing three mounting bolts. Car runs well however it is early in the process. I am happy! Shipping was free from AutoPartsWAY and quick.
