              Product Information

              MSD IGNITION

              MSD Pro-Billet distributors are engineered using 6061-T6 aluminum billet and manufactured using precise CNC machines for exact tolerances. The sealed ball bearing offers high-speed stability and a QPQ coated shaft offers optimum friction reduction and corrosion reduction. The reluctor is machined with a precision that triggers the magnetic pickup mounted in the housing. Reduced moving parts decrease the wear and tear and the pick-up on these distributors by MSD is maintenance-free. It also features a mechanical advance assembly just above the pickup. Springs and stop bushings offer an easy way to custom-tune your advanced curve according to your requirements.

              • MSD Pro-Billet distributors feature nylon pads to ensure smooth operation of the advance weights

              Product's Extended Description

              • Pro-Billet Distributor; Incl. Cap/Race Rotor; Use w/MSD 6/7/8/10 Series Ignition; w/Locked-Out Timing; Chevy V8; Bronze Gear;
              • This strong, billet aluminum distributor is set up for engines that run locked-out timing or an MSD timing computer. With no advance assembly, the rotor plate is welded directly to the oversized shaft. A sealed ball bearing guides the top of the shaft while an extra long sintered bushing stabilizes the lower portion. Trigger signals are produced via a high-output magnetic pick-up. This pickup is extremely accurate and never requires adjustment. Since this distributor is designed primarily for race engines, an oversized ( . 006 In.) bronze gear is installed along with an adjustable slip collar for modified blocks, heads or intake manifolds.

              I wish I had chosen this distributor when I first built my engine. Love the slip collar feature—my old one didn't have it and messed up the gear mesh. This one's been running flawlessly for over three seasons.
                  Yes, I recommend this product.

                  It performs very well, but be warned, it'll leak oil at the lockdown collar unless you use silicone.

                      This great distributor fits perfectly behind a 10-71 on a bbc with a blower shop manifold, no setbacks required.

                          Encountered the same rusting problem inside the distributor as another reviewer after 2 years. Planning to reach out to MSD about it.

                              MSD always delivers quality, though it feels a tad pricey. Would be nice to see the cost a bit lower.

                                          I'm not claiming this will magically give you insane RPMs, but a solid distributor is key. This one's been giving me over 12,000 RPM for over 6 years, still rocking the original cap and rotor. Ignore the naysayers, this is the real deal.
