PN 8573		 8-BA Flathead Distributors
If you have a later model Flathead, manufactured from '49-'53, MSD also has you covered with two different models!
Both distributors are built around a CNC machined billet aluminum housing and feature a maintenace-free magnetic pickup so there are no points to worry about. A precision reluctor is mounted to a QPQ coated steel shaft which is guided by a sealed ball bearing for accurate timing signals throughout the entire rpm range.
The distributors also offer an easy-to-adjust mechanical advance assembly. Chrome moly weights move smoothly on nylon pads and different advance springs and stop bushings are supplied so you can custom tailor a timing curve to match your engine’s requirements.
Both distributors are supplied with a depth setting gauge, gear, cap and rotor.


Ready-to-Run Flathead
This distributor features an ignition module that is built into the billet aluminum housing. This distributor drops in the engine and connects with only three wires! There is also a vacuum advance canister to increase cruising economy.
