My ACCEL distributor was tan on the top ........MSD is red .

Ford Racing 392 crate motors early on had the Accel Distributor which would shear drive gear pins as it was a slip fit gear - They switched to MSD a couple of years ago due to that problem. MSD was a press fit gear. My old Accel sheared a pin as well and I made the switch to MSD .

Not sure about your 351/385 motor, but perhaps it is also an Accel if it is tan . A thought anyway . Bill
