MSD now offers a Pro-Billet Distributor part # 83831 (thru Marken Performance) for the Ford Y-Block engine that was used from '54-'64, including: 1954-1964 Ford Trucks, 1954-1962 Ford Cars, 1955 1956 1957 Thunderbirds.
The MSD Pro-Billet Y-Block Distributor is built around a CNC-machined billet aluminum housing that is fit with a sealed ball bearing guide for stability and endurance. For timing accuracy, a maintenance-free magnetic pickup reliably triggers the MSD Ignition Control.
For tuning, the Y-Block Distributor features MSD's easy-to-adjust mechanical advance. Different tension spring and a variety of stop bushings allow you to custom tailor a timing curve to match your application. There is also a vacuum advance that will help with economy during cruises and throttle transitions.
The distributor is supplied with an MSD red, injection molded cap and rotor. It connects directly into the 2-pin connector of an MSD ignition control such as a 6AL.
The Y block is becoming more popular with restomods and a small aftermarket has emerged for this engine. Slight modification of a 3-speed column shift bellhousing allows for the use of a much more modern Tremec T-5 overdrive 5-speed with the stock clutch assembly. The 1957 heads are the most popular for performance due to their large valves and their unique stacked intake runner design, which flows very well. Ported ECZ-G castings have flowed up to 235 cfm on the upper port.
