Distributor Gear Iron .468in SBF 289 302

The Distributor Gear Iron .468in SBF 289 302 by MSD IGNITION is a precision-engineered replacement component designed for Small Block Ford engines requiring reliable ignition timing distribution. This heavy-duty iron gear serves as the mechanical foundation of the distributor assembly, driving the rotor and ensuring consistent spark delivery across all cylinders. Enthusiasts, restoration specialists, and performance builders trust this component for both stock rebuilds and high-output applications where accurate ignition control directly impacts engine performance and drivability.

Constructed from durable iron with a protective black melonized finish, the Distributor Gear Iron .468in SBF 289 302 resists corrosion and wear while maintaining dimensional stability under the thermal and mechanical stresses of engine operation. The 0.468-inch shaft diameter provides precise engagement with the camshaft gear, ensuring minimal backlash and repeatable timing accuracy essential for smooth idle quality, fuel economy, and peak horsepower delivery. The melonized surface treatment enhances durability and reduces friction, extending component life and maintaining consistent performance across thousands of operating hours.

Ideal for Small Block Ford 289, 302, and related engine platforms, this distributor gear is a critical upgrade for anyone rebuilding vintage muscle cars, street rods, or performance engines where ignition reliability cannot be compromised. Installation is straightforward on standard SBF engines, meshing directly with the camshaft drive gear during assembly. Whether you're restoring a classic Mustang, Fairlane, or Cobra, or tuning a modern stroker build, this MSD component delivers the precision engineering that separates quality restorations from mediocre rebuilds.
