Lowest Price GuaranteeWith a crank trigger handling timing, the distributor only has to distribute spark, so it can be built short and out of the way. This small block Ford unit puts nothing but a rotor under the cap, which keeps the assembly low enough to clear tight intake and blower combinations, and it comes with a bronze gear for race camshafts.
MSD 8379 Crank Trigger Distributor Features:
- Fits Ford 289 and 302 engines.
- Must be used with a crank trigger and an ignition control.
- Large diameter cap prevents spark scatter in high cylinder pressure engines.
- Bronze gear supplied for race camshaft applications.
- Polished QPQ coated steel shaft on a sealed ball bearing.
- Red housing.
Emissions Note:
This part is only legal for sale and use on Uncontrolled (Non-Emissions Controlled) Vehicles or on vehicles used solely for the purposes of closed competition racing.

Distributors Geared for Racing
MSD Ignition Crank Trigger distributors are designed for racing engines that use a crankshaft triggered ignition. A low profile lets these distributors fit in tight quarters and still accurately deliver the sparks. Each crank trigger distributor contains a CNC-machined billet aluminum housing and inside the housing, a sealed ball bearing and long sintered bushing, guide a QPQ-coated shaft for accurate spark delivery throughout high rpm. A low profile distributor cap with brass terminals clamps onto the housing and covers the racing rotor. The rotor contains deep vanes to stir up the air; reducing the chance of spark scatter. Since these distributors are for racing applications, bronze gears are supplied. Must be used with an MSD Crank Trigger and MSD 6, 7 or 8-Series Ignition Control
