Emissions
This part is legal for sale and use on Uncontrolled (Non-Emissions Controlled) Vehicles.
See Emissions DetailsRather than ancient breaker points, this distributor uses a maintenance-free non-magnetic pickup to trigger the ignition control. Atop the distributor shaft is our proven centrifugal advance that allows you to alter the rate and amount of mechanical advance which is a very important tuning step with a Y-Block.
The Ford Y-Block holds a special place in Ford's history books and with blue oval enthusiasts. To ensure precise spark delivery and control, MSD offers a Pro-Billet Distributor for most Y-Blocks.
This distributor requires an MSD Ignition Control such as a 6A or 7-series ignition which will provide plenty of energy and multiple sparks to make your vintage Ford purr.
Features:
- Mechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systems
- Nylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weights
- Maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm range
- Requires an MSD Ignition Control
- Vacuum advance canister for improved economy (can be locked out)
- CNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum base
- Advance weight pins are staked and tig welded to the plate
- May hit firewall seam on '57-'59 full size cars.
- Polished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearing
- Advance plate and weights are fine blanked from chrome moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reduction
