CrankTriggerdist_1Crane Cams is pleased to announce the release of these new Crank Trigger distributors, which resolve issues regarding clearance in an already tightly-fit engine bay. They deliver top amounts of spark energy, while the lightweight housing stays prepped for adventure thanks to billet aluminum construction.

Official Release:

Crane Cams announces the addition of “Crank Trigger Distributors” to our highly successful Race Billet Distributors product line.

The four new part numbers are equipped with a large diameter, low profile distributor cap. This design helps avoid clearance problems. In addition, the caps are manufactured with solid brass lugs, which enable the transfer of the maximum amount of spark energy. The lightweight lower housing is machined from billet aluminum.

All of these new models include the use of a stainless steel shaft to increase the longevity of the distributor. The precision alignment of the shaft is achieved by the upper end being supported by a sealed roller bearing, and the bottom end supported by a sintered bushing. The overall end play of the shaft is held to a minimum during the manufacturing procedure.

All models come complete with an aluminum bronze material distributor gear. The Chevrolet version comes with an adjustable steel collar to compensate for possible variance in the engine’s block height.

The precise tolerances of these made-in-the-USA distributors makes them a true, ready to drop in race part.

Features:

  • Large diameter, low profile distributor cap helps avoid clearance problems
  • Manufactured from solid brass lugs
  • Stainless steel shaft increases longevity
