MSD Distributor P/N:8545
MSD 85804 distributor for the 1969-1973 Ford Mustang V8 5.8L and other vehicles is a low-profile crab cap MSD Ignition distributor with a magnetic pickup.
A distributor that is wearing out can show up as hard starting, a misfire or rough running. Worn spark plugs, tired plug wires or a weak coil can produce those signs too, so find which part is at fault before you buy.
This distributor is listed for a wide range of Ford, Mercury and Detomaso models, including the 1981-1986 Detomaso Pantera V8 5.8L and the 1969-1974 Ford Country Sedan V8 5.8L. The 1969-1973 Ford Mustang V8 5.8L takes one.
