Description:
Having a huge blower mounted on top of your engine is cool, but it can lead to limited choices for a distributor. The same goes for tri-power carburetor setups and big air cleaner assemblies, so MSD decided to morph their crab cap crank trigger distributor with a standard Chevy model to come up with a flat-top model! These MSD Flat-Top Pro-Billet distributors sit low in the engine block, and are topped with MSD's special crab cap that positions the spark plug terminals horizontally to give you plenty of clearance. These distributors incorporate a mechanical advance assembly that you can easily tune with the supplied springs and stop bushings. For trigger accuracy, a maintenance-free magnetic pickup is used. This pickup plugs directly into an MSD ignition control. The Flat-Top Pro-Billet distributors are supplied with a Dupont Rynite-molded distributor cap and rotor, along with a heavy-duty gear for long life in your engine.
