A Ready-to-Run Pro-Billet distributor for Ford 289 and 302 with a Melonized QPQ steel gear installed at the factory — the correct pairing for a hydraulic roller cam. Built-in module, built-in rev limiter, vacuum advance, no ignition box to mount.
Bolt a hydraulic roller cam into a small block Ford and the distributor gear stops being a detail. This one settles it before the box is open. The steel gear is installed and set, so you skip pressing and shimming a gear and the machine shop visit that comes with it.
MSD aims Ready-to-Run at bulky DuraSpark systems and ancient breaker points: drop it in, connect three wires, fire the engine. The built-in module fires a 7.5 amp single spark through high rpm, and the rev limiter is easy to set.
The billet housing is 5/8 inch smaller in diameter than stock, which clears tight engine bays and multi-carb induction. A vacuum advance canister keeps highway cruising efficient and can be locked out, while supplied springs tune the mechanical curve.
