  • MSD engineers fit all of their high performance distributor experience into a special compact housing designed to be less obtrusive for Ford engines. The diameter of the special cap and housing are 5/8 smaller than stock Ford distributors providing extra room in front of the engine. The new MSD cap features spark plug style terminals and is firmly screwed down to the housing. The distributor relies on MSDs race proven magnetic pickup and precision reluctor to deliver accurate trigger signals to the MSD Ignition throughout high rpm. The reluctor assembly is turned by a hardened steel shaft which rides in a sealed ball bearing for high rpm stability and endurance. Mounted to the top of this shaft is a fully adjustable mechanical advance assembly. The rate at which the chromoly assembly advances the timing is easily controlled by changing the supplied advance springs and stop bushing for total advance.

      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.
