Small diameter distributor for 289/302 engines, includes iron gear and vacuum advance. Must be used with an MSD 6, 7 or 8-series ignition.

The diameter of the special cap and housing are 5/8" 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.
