Not Ranked
lastdime,
The shortest height distributor I found for the 429/460 is the stock Ford Duraspark. You can use it with an MSD box if desired. It is a good way to go. Get it curved correctly, set it and forget it.
I had to use one on my 557/81 Zephyr so I could use an adequate air filter, i.e., 14" circular with a 3" tall element. Anything less won't flow enough air to let the engine breathe adequately. My Cobra tolerates the MSD height.
Just be sure you use the correct material for the distributor gear/cam combo; steel for steel (roller or hyd roller) or cast for a flat tappet cam.
