The latest distributor from Crane is a highly accurate “locked” model engineered specifically for oval track and drag racing applications. The analog design unit complies with rule requirements for a number of sanctioning organisations, and features an optical trigger for maintenance-free operation.
Made in the U.S.A., Crane’s Race Billet Distributor has a CNC-machined billet aluminium lower housing and a stainless steel shaft that is supported by bearings at the top and bottom. Aluminium and stainless steel is employed extensively in the body of the unit to ensure long-term dependability. The distributor gear is made of Melanized steel—which has proven to be compatible with both billet and cast camshafts. Use with Crane's new Hi6RC Ignition, which includes a 20 degree start retard capability. (P/N 6000-6700)
Available with a choice of large or small distributor caps for Chevrolet small block and big block engines (1955-96), Chrysler LA (317-360), Ford 289/302, Ford 5.0 HO/351 Windsor, Cleveland and big block “385” (429-460) and “FE” (360-427), Holden 253-308. Additionally, “small cap” models are offered for Chrysler B and RB (383-440) engines. The caps have solid brass lugs (uncoated) for optimum conductivity.

We have a continually-updated library of Crane Tech Bulletins, all available for download.
Cam Break-In Procedure
Due to the EPA’s mandate for zinc removal from most motor oils, proper flat tappet camshaft break-in procedure is more critical than ever before. This is true for both hydraulic and mechanical flat tappet camshafts.
As a point of interest, the most critical time in the life of a flat tappet camshaft is the first 20 minutes of “break-in” during which the bottoms of the tappets “mate-in” with the cam lobes.
