MSD Pro-Billet distributors share the same CNC machining techniques as the rest of the MSD distributor line. They feature a housing that is machined from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum for durability and show-quality looks. Their oversized shaft receives a QPQ coating for friction reduction and corrosion resistance, with the added strength of two sealed ball bearings that guide the shaft accurately at well over 10,000 rpm. An extra-long sintered bushing replaces the ball bearing at the bottom of Chevrolet models. TIG-welded on top of the polished steel shaft is MSD's accurate mechanical advance assembly. The weights are supported by nylon pads that allow the advance to operate smoothly throughout the rpm range. For all-out racing, the advance mechanism can also be easily locked out. To accurately trigger the ignition, a high-output magnetic pickup is bolted to the base. This pickup produces a precise trigger signal that will never vary more than one degree at any rpm. A durable gear is installed for performance applications, and an MSD red cap with brass terminals and race rotor is supplied. They're available in standard and small diameter models for applications with limited clearance, and require the use of a separate ignition box such as an MSD 6, 7, 8, or 10 Series ignition.

Works flawless

Summit RacingSummit Racing Verified Purchase

Looks and works great. Install was very simple. The distributor gear I needed to change was also very easy. It simply slides off the shaft instead of pressing off. Works flawlessly and made a huge difference in timing stability. Timing light never is steady as a rock.

EXCELLENT DISTRIBUTOR

Summit RacingSummit Racing Verified Purchase

This distributor was in perfect condition when I received it. Installing the the new bronze gear was simple. The distributor fit right into the engine with very little problem. The unit works great and looks good too.

MSD Distributor

Summit RacingSummit Racing Verified Purchase

I was not geting enough advance on my 79 T/A even though I had an MSD ignition box,wires and cap so I purchased the distributor and coil and "WOW" when it was installed what a difference. It really woke up my engine. It seems as if I have a new engine. The difference in performance is outstanding.
