Machined billet. Roller cam gear already in it.
A Pro-Billet small diameter distributor for Ford 289-302 with the steel gear pressed on and set at the factory, under a small red cap. Requires an MSD 6, 7, or 8 Series ignition control.
The gear is already handled. Ford distributor gears are a pressed fit that normally require cross-drilling the shaft and setting the gear to a specific height — the kind of job that turns a weekend install into a shop appointment. Here the steel gear is on, set, and ready for a hydraulic roller camshaft.
One part number covers the distributor and the roller-cam gear, so there is one less thing to source and one less thing to get wrong. MSD is direct about why it matters: gear-to-cam material matching is what protects the camshaft, and a mismatch can lead to engine damage.
The rest is machined billet. CNC machined billet aluminum housing and base, with the shaft polished, QPQ coated, and carried on a sealed ball bearing. The timing curve is yours to set with supplied springs and stop bushings, and the advance locks out if you move to a crank trigger.
