PN 8574		 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.


Pro-Billet Flathead
This version of the Flathead Distributor requires an MSD Ignition Control such as an MSD 6 or 7 Series. If your engine is built for high rpm performance or nostalgia racing, the full power CD sparks of the MSD Ignition will deliver the performance to fire your Flathead.
