MSD Performance 85824 Ford 289 – 302 Crab Cap Distributor

Description

Low profile, magnetic pickup distributor ideal for clearing blower snouts, and for any application where height is critical. Ford owners with distributor clearance issues due to blowers, air cleaners, or any other parts interference will love MSD’s low profile, crab cap style distributor. The use of a crab cap allows the spark plug wires to exit the side of the distributor cap significantly lowering the overall height.
