MSD's 8520 Pro-Billet Front Drive distributor is the solution for race engines that don't have room for a standard distributor due to firewall clearance or intake combinations.
The MSD Front Drive distributor is belt-driven from a pulley installed on the camshaft.
For increased strength and durability a 9mm belt is used which is wider than any other drive assembly.
The distributor head is CNC-machined from a billet of aluminum and is secured to a strong precision bracket.
This system is an extremely accurate way to distribute the spark energy from your MSD Ignition!
We revised the front drive with our standard Ford-style cap and rotor.
This creates a downsized package for an easier fit in tight engine compartments.
The Front Drive distributor is supplied with mounting bolts, cam pulley and drive belt.
Note: Must be used with a Jesel or Comp Cams Camshaft Belt Drive Kit and an MSD Flying Magnet Crank Trigger.
