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.

Product Features:

• All products are constructed to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Cap terminal conductor wires formed with precision guided machines to ensure precise final location in the final housing assembly.
• Terminal inserts manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure a guaranteed electrical connection between the cap conductor wires and spark plug wire terminals.
• Distributor rotor blade coated with RFI coating to prevent electrical magnetic interference with the vehicles electrical system.
• Distributor and rotor housings manufactured using the latest plastic technologies to guarantee di-electric strength and long life cycle.

Marine environments place rigorous demands on every component of the ignition system. The combination of water spray, salt exposure, full throttle acceleration and harsh vibrations all take their toll. The MSD Pro-Billet distributor is the strongest and most accurate distributor you can put in your boat. The housing is CNC-machined from a billet of 6061-T6 aluminum creating a housing with no porosity. Each distributor uses MSD’s race-proven magnetic pickup to trigger the ignition control. Mounted just above the pickup is a mechanical advance assembly that is easy to adjust so you can dial-in an ignition curve to match your boat’s application (except PN 8366). For marine use, the distributor cap is bolted to the aluminum base. There are two flame arrestor holes with brass screens machined into the base of the distributor to prevent ignition of gas fumes that may build up in the engine compartment. A special Weathertight connector is supplied. Underwriter’s laboratory approved.

Product Features:

• For Use In Marine Applications w/Chevy V8 Automotive Engines
• Will not accept a vacuum advance canister
• Supplied w/Bolt Down HEI Style Distributor Cap And Rotor
• Weathertight connectors used for locked and sealed connections
• Must Be Used w/An MSD Ignition Control
• O-ring seals can be installed for oil press. control (Mods only)
• Special oil tract improves lubrication to the dist./cam gear
• Nylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weights

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.

Product Features:

• Designed Primarily For Race Applications w/No Mech. Advance
• Will not accept a vacuum advance canister
• Must Be Used w/An MSD 6/7/8/10 Series Ignition
• Supplied w/HEI style distributor cap/rotor (accepts Cap-A-Dapts)
