Distributor...will this one work with my intake?

The MSD 8569 crank trigger distributor is designed for a sheet metal TR according to MSD. Will it also work with my new style Trick Flow A460 single 4V intake?

I can't remember the part number on mine but it is the short one and I'm running the tfs single 4 intake, if that helps

I know i will get bashed for this but.When i put my intake on from trick flow and relized my dis wouldnt
work i called them and the guy was nice and just said oh yhe you have to get the crank trigger set up
well after looking at almost 1200 for all that i mad the decision to cut a little of the intake were the dis was
and weld it to make room.worked like a charm i dont see why the intake has to be that big in the front i did
not effect the runners flow at all as it looks.

Guys,

I make a "Poor Boys" MSD style distributor set-up that works with the TFS A-460 tunnel ram. George Keown, Kristina Lawyer, Travis Rice and others have been running it for years. You do grind the bottom corner of the plenum back at about a 30* angle, no welding required. Then we use a stock 429-460 Ford Motorcraft distributor (which is the shortest) and totally rebuild it with new internals, and a bronze gear. Next up is one of my alum. cap adapters that allows you to use the Mallory # 221 crab cap, where the spark plug wires come out from the side.

Hope this helps,

Charlie Evans

1200 for a crank set up?.. or you mean with the intake as well?

No the intake was 725.00 and i may be wrong but you have to buy the dis the crank trigger and the mounting kit
i sure wish i would have known about c evens deal. but it didnt cost me anything to cut and weld the intake.

Just want to Thank Uncle Charlie for saving me some money from buying another dizzy. I got w/Charlie back when I was putting this A head deal together way back when. He steered me in the direction of the Short Motorcraft dizzy for the TFS TR intake. I purchased the adapter for the Mallory CRAB cap from him at that time. Well,this past winter I got a good deal from a member over at the other forum on a complete MSD Crank Trigger setup. Wednesday nite I was all ready to install the new MSD dizzy and guess what,it was a mile to tall to fit under the TR. So, I'm thinking AH no,I gotta buy another CT dizzy (MORE MONEY). Thats when I thought about the deal I already had w/the stock(Low Profile)I already had. So I called Charlie and he walked me through the steps of making it as good as a High dollar one. I ordered a new CRAB cap from Jegs and Installed it yesterday. Fit like a glove.
Thanks again Charlie, your a life saver.

Thank you Rick! I hope your engine makes BIG power.

Charlie, I have another ? for you. A forum member posted me about this deal,my question is,Will the small dizzy work with a Single 4 Victor?

Rick,

Yep, it will work with a whole lot of different manifolds.

Charlie

Thanks a bunch
