MSD 8577 Distributor

Compatible with 351C, 351M, 400, 429, 460 with iron gear. Must be used with an MSD 6, 7 or 8-series ignition.;

MSD engineers fit all of their high performance distributor experience into
a special compact housing designed to be less obtrusive for Ford engines.
The diameter of the special cap and housing are 5/8 in. smaller than stock
Ford distributors providing extra room in front of the engine. The new MSD
cap features spark plug style terminals and is firmly screwed down to the
housing.

The distributor relies on MSD's race proven magnetic pickup and precision
reluctor to deliver accurate reluctor signals to the MSD Ignition throughout
high rpm. The reluctor assembly is turned by a hardened steel shaft which
rides in a sealed ball bearing for high rpm stability and endurance.

Mounted to the top of this shaft is a fully adjustable mechanical advance
assembly. The rate at which the chromoly assembly advances the timing is
easily controlled by changing the supplied advance springs and stop bushing
for total advance.;
