Product Details

The MSD 846973 is a precision-engineered low-profile crank trigger distributor designed specifically for Chevrolet engines. This distributor is built to sit lower in the block, providing critical clearance for tight firewall and intake manifold combinations in modified street and race applications.

Key Features:

  • CNC-machined billet aluminum housing with black anodized finish for exceptional strength and durability
  • Oversized polished steel shaft with QPQ (Quench-Polish-Quench) coating for reduced friction and extended wear life
  • Dual-guided shaft supported by a sealed ball bearing and extra-long sintered bushing for stability and precision
  • Special oil tract design enhances lubrication to distributor and camshaft gear
  • Includes large-diameter HEI-style distributor cap and rotor for reliable spark distribution
  • Supplied with bronze distributor gear for compatibility with standard camshafts
  • O-ring seal provisions for modified blocks to improve oil pressure control

Important Requirements: This distributor must be used in conjunction with an MSD Crank Trigger system and an MSD Ignition Control box. It is designed for crank trigger ignition applications where the timing signal is derived from the crankshaft rather than the distributor, making it ideal for high-performance and racing engines requiring precise ignition timing control.
