Product Details

The MSD 85834 is a high-grade steel distributor gear engineered as a direct replacement for Ford small block applications. It is a direct replacement for MSD distributors PN 8455 and 8456 (5.0L EFI) and also fits 351W distributors with a 0.531" shaft ID. MSD invested significant research into metallurgical composition, heat treating, and coatings to deliver a gear that is durable, accurate, and built to handle the demands of both street and performance use.

Key Features:

  • Increased outer hardened layer thickness (RC 55-60) — provides superior surface hardness for long-lasting durability under high-load conditions
  • Micro-polished surface — ensures smooth contact between the gear and camshaft for reduced noise and precise timing
  • Melonite QPQ coating — reduces friction and minimizes initial break-in wear for a longer service life
  • Interstitial carbide concentration — improves overall wear resistance throughout the gear's life
  • Proprietary ductile iron formulation — optimized material composition for strength and longevity
  • 0.531" inner diameter — correctly sized for MSD 8455, 8456 (5.0L EFI) and 351W distributor shafts
  • Roll pin included — everything needed for installation is included in the box
  • No drilling required — straightforward, direct-fit installation
  • Sold individually

This distributor gear is legal for sale and use on emissions-controlled vehicles in all 50 states. Whether you're refreshing a worn distributor or upgrading to a more resilient steel gear, the MSD 85834 delivers the precision and durability demanded by Ford 302 and 351W engines.

Excellent service and fast shipping. A seller I would do business with again.

We ordered a Impact racing helmet for $100.00 less than what we would've paid the manufacturer. We received it sooner than expected. The helmet was excellent!! We would order for this site again in the future!!! Thank you Autoplicity!!

Hands down the best price anywhere. Seamless, hassle free shopping with fast status updates- Bookmark this into your favorites!

Autoplicity had the lowest price on what I ordered. Autoplicity was $30 cheaper than other competitors. I will return to Autoplicity again

Autoplicity was the least expensive and had great response time in regards to shipping. I will use Autoplicity next time I am needing automotive parts. Thanks
