Start here. No box needed.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Ready-to-Run FE distributor with a Melonized QPQ steel gear already installed — the pairing MSD specifies for hydraulic roller camshafts. Small diameter red cap, vacuum advance, and no ignition box required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn modern engine design it is hard to beat a hydraulic roller camshaft, and MSD is direct about what that demands: match the distributor gear to the cam material, or risk premature failure of the cam or the gear and the engine damage that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis distributor ships with the steel gear already installed and set, which saves the hardest part of a Ford gear change. The gear is a pressed fit that normally means cross-drilling the shaft and setting the height precisely. Whether you are working with a crate FE or building your own combination, this arrives sorted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rest is Ready-to-Run, which means self-contained — no ignition box to mount, ground, or feed. CNC machined billet aluminum housing and base, a QPQ-coated shaft on a sealed ball bearing, a maintenance-free magnetic pickup, and a vacuum advance mechanism on board. The advance locks out for crank trigger use.\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 Ready-to-Run FE Distributor — CNC Billet Housing, No Ignition Box Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ex1 Small Diameter Red Distributor Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ex1 Rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ex1 Vacuum Advance Mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvance Springs and Stop Bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ex1 Steel Gear, Melonized QPQ Coated, Installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: ignition coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Ford FE Block.
