Product Details

The MSD 85844 is a high-performance crab cap distributor engineered specifically for Ford 351 Windsor engines. Featuring a low-profile crab cap design, this distributor provides optimal clearance in tight engine compartments where space is at a premium.

Premium Construction:

  • CNC-machined billet aluminum housing and base for precision and durability
  • Polished steel shaft with QPQ coating for corrosion resistance and reduced friction
  • Sealed ball bearing guides the shaft for smooth, reliable operation
  • Advance plate and weights are fine-blanked from chrome moly steel with QPQ coating
  • Advance weight pins are staked and TIG welded to the plate for maximum strength

Advanced Features:

  • Maintenance-free magnetic pickup with precision reluctor delivers stable trigger signals throughout the entire RPM range
  • Nylon pads on advance weights ensure smooth, consistent operation
  • Mechanical advance assembly can be locked out for use with crank trigger ignition systems
  • Supplied with steel distributor gear compatible with most hydraulic roller cam applications

Important: This distributor must be used with an MSD Ignition Control box to function properly. It is designed for performance applications where precise ignition timing control is essential.
