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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillet housing 5\/8 in. smaller dia. than stock Ford distributors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMust Be Used w\/An MSD Ignition Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied w\/small dia. cap w\/HEI style terminals; race and rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill accept PN[8441] Cap-A-Dapt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvance weight pins are staked and tig welded to the plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMech. advance assem. can be locked out for crank trigger systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvance plate and weights are fine blanked from chrome moly steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQPQ coated for friction reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQPQ coated polished steel shaft; guided by sealed ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates stable trigger signals throughout the rpm range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eMSD\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eC.A.R.B.
