1955 Chevrolet Corvette Distributors

The distributor cap & rotor are just two pieces of this type of ignition system which is typically driven by the engine’s camshaft. The distributor is the device that delivers the ignition spark to the spark plugs at a precise time, and spark timing is critical. Any wear or component out of place in this type of system will result in failure. Within the distributor and mounted to it are many individual pieces which allow the distributor and system to be maintained and repaired to keep it in top working order.

All MSD Extra Duty Distributor Caps are designed with performance in mind and are molded from high quality, voltage insulating material and use low resistance terminals.

Includes a separate tach circuit that is ideal to trigger an aftermarket EFI such as an Atomic EFI system.

Introducing the next generation of Holley EFI Dual Sync Distributors, the new design features an improved shutter wheel, high-quality dual Hall Effect sensors, and an MSD cap and rotor. While these distributors are designed to be used primarily in sequentially injected installations, you can easily use them as a crank trigger for TBI system also. The precision machined shutter wheel design ensures accurate timing, even at very high engine speeds. The Gen 2 Dual Sync also included a QPQ coated shutter wheel for superior corrosion resistance, and the wheel has been pinned and welded to the shaft for increased reliability. These distributors can also be used with other EFI systems that support Hall Effect crank and cam sensor inputs. Do you need to a bronze gear for your billet cam, No problem, these distributors maintain MSD shaft diameters, making it easy to source a bronze gear.

The unique design of these distributors fit tight intake systems while still transferring the high voltage of the MSD racing ignition to the spark plugs.

MSD engineers have worked tirelessly to perfect the new circle track HEI. A bulletproof ignition module fires a high output coil in the cap while a specially designed, QPQ coated chromoly advance cam and weight set ride on tig welded weight plate pins and a tig welded distributor shaft. This combination provides brute strength and precision timing from idle to max RPM. At the bottom, a QPQ coated steel gear will run lap after lap, race after race, victory after victory without fatigue.

The high voltage carrying capabilities are the result of several features which have been designed into these low-profile distributors. This includes a large diameter cap with wide spaced terminals and an injection molded Rynite rotor with thick vanes to stir up the air inside the cap. The high dielectric Rynite base also prevents arcing to the billet housing.

Different springs and stop bushings are supplied so you can tune an advance curve to match your application. Must be used with an MSD 6, 7 or 8-series ignition.
