Roller cam gear already in it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's In the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe distributor and what ships with it:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ex1 Pro-Billet Small Diameter Distributor — CNC Billet Housing and Base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ex1 Distributor Cap — Small Diameter, listed red in the spec table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ex1 Rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ex1 Steel Gear, Melonized QPQ Coated, Installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvance Springs and Stop Bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: ignition coil, MSD ignition control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Ford Small Block 289-302.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires: an MSD 6, 7, or 8 Series ignition control, sold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGear: Steel, Melonized QPQ — for hydraulic roller cams.
