Description

MSD 85824 distributor for the 1975-1985 Ford F-150 V8 5.0L and other vehicles is a low-profile crab cap MSD Ignition distributor. Spark plug wires exit the side of the cap, which keeps the overall height down where a blower or air cleaner leaves little room.

Steel distributor gear that works with most hydraulic roller cams
Nylon pads for smooth advance weight operation, with weight pins staked and TIG welded to the plate
Mechanical advance adjusts with supplied springs and stop bushings and can be locked out for crank trigger systems
Advance plate and weights fine blanked from chrome moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reduction
Maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor for stable trigger signals across the rpm range
Built on the foundation of the MSD Pro-Billet distributor line

Quick facts

Part: MSD 85824 distributor
Fits: 1975-1985 Ford F-150 V8 5.0L and other vehicles
Condition: New

A distributor routes the spark to each plug wire, so a worn one can show up as hard starting, a misfire or a rough idle. None of these signs proves the distributor is at fault; a fouled spark plug is another common source.

Fits

The 1975-1985 Ford F-150 V8 5.0L, the 1964-1968 Ford Mustang V8 4.7L, the 1968-1973 Mustang V8 5.0L and the 1980-1985 Ford F-250 V8 5.0L are all fit by this distributor, and so are many other Ford, Mercury and Lincoln models.
