      Description

      High Performance Distributor. The MSD Ready-to-Run Distributor offers a powerful ignition upgrade designed to replace older DuraSpark and breaker point systems. It simplifies ignition setup with a built-in module requiring no external ignition control, providing strong, reliable spark delivery for quick starts and smooth engine performance. This product is ideal for enthusiasts looking to enhance combustion efficiency and driving experience in classic Ford 5.0L Mustangs.

      Construction and Appearance. This distributor features a CNC machined billet aluminum housing and base with a reduced diameter for enhanced fitment, finished in a durable red coating. The polished steel shaft is QPQ coated for increased wear resistance and guided by a sealed ball bearing. Components like the advance plate and weights are crafted from chrome moly steel and treated with QPQ coating to reduce friction and ensure longevity.

      Installation. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a simple three-wire connection with no drilling or major modifications needed. It drops directly into the engine compartment, making it accessible for both professionals and experienced enthusiasts.

      Warranty. Covered by a manufacturer’s limited one-year warranty for peace of mind.

      Application. Specifically fits the 1979 5.0L Mustang and 1982–1995 5.0L Mustang models, providing a direct replacement designed for these engines without modification.
