Product Details

The MSD 835251 Ready-to-Run Distributor is precision-engineered for Ford 289 and 302 small block engines, delivering reliable ignition performance right out of the box. This complete distributor features a CNC-machined billet aluminum housing and base for exceptional durability and heat dissipation, while the polished steel shaft receives a QPQ coating for enhanced wear resistance and is supported by a sealed ball bearing for smooth operation.

Key Features:

  • Factory-installed steel gear for compatibility with iron camshafts
  • Maintenance-free magnetic pickup with precision reluctor generates stable trigger signals throughout the entire RPM range
  • Adjustable mechanical advance system includes multiple springs and stop bushings for custom timing curves
  • Advance plate and weights are fine-blanked from chrome moly steel with QPQ coating for reduced friction
  • Advance weight pins are staked and TIG welded to the plate for maximum reliability
  • Nylon pads on advance weights ensure smooth, consistent operation
  • Mechanical advance can be locked out for use with crank trigger ignition systems
  • Black distributor cap included

This Ready-to-Run distributor eliminates the need for an external ignition box, making it an ideal upgrade for street performance and mild race applications. The high-quality construction and adjustable advance features allow you to fine-tune ignition timing for optimal engine performance.
