1956 Chevrolet Corvette Performance Distributors

The Pro-Billet Ready-to-Run distributor is the perfect upgrade for outdated points distributors or bulky HEI. Simply install the distributor in the engine, connect three wires, the coil and fire it up! A maintenance-free magnetic pick-up accurately triggers the module. The increased output of the amplifier easily outperforms stock ignitions and will smooth out the engine’s idle, improve starting and provide a much higher RPM range. The Ready-to-Run features MSD’s adjustable mechanical advance which allows you to custom tailor an ignition curve to match your engine’s needs. There is also a vacuum advance canister to help improve economy. For positive street performance, the Ready-to-Run is the best choice.

Corvette owners can now replace their worn out magna-pulse distributors with this precision pro-billet tach drive distributor. Advantages such as an accurate magnetic pick-up, oversized shaft, vacuum advance and a billet aluminum housing are just a few of the MSD advantages. Inside the billet housing, a sealed ball bearing and long sintered bushing guide a 0.500 inch steel shaft for high rpm accuracy. A special reluctor is mounted to this shaft and is responsible for triggering the magnetic pick-up. An adjustable mechanical advance assembly allows you to get the most performance out of your Vette’s engine by custom tailoring a timing curve to fit your application. The tach drive assembly is compact to clear the firewall and linkage. It can be repositioned easily to fit different applications plus has a grease fitting for lubrication.

Product Features:

• Same Features As PN[8571] w/The Addition Of A Vacuum Advance
• CARB E.O. Approved

Leave it to MSD to build an all-out performance distributor to replace the OEM GM LT1 Optispark. We machine an entire billet block of aluminum down into a precise housing that fits in place of the factory piece. Then, we fill it with a reliable new pick-up assembly, a trick timing adjustment mechanism and top it off with an all new MSD distributor cap. The pick-up is an advanced optical encoder, a different style of optical pickup than the OEM. This type of pick-up has proven to be very reliable and stable through extreme rpm and conditions. The rotor is bolted to a drive assembly that is indexed to the shaft and is stabilized through the use of a large ball bearing assembly. Once installed, you have the ability to adjust the ignition timing. The only distributor that offers timing adjustability. An adjustment screw allows the timing to be tweaked up to 5 degrees. The distributor is equipped with a fresh air vent and has an extra thick mounting surface for the cap to eliminate leaks. The distributor is supplied complete with our heavy duty LT1 cap, rotor and the components required for installation.

Product Features:

• Advanced optical encoder trigger design for accuracy/reliability.
• Rotor drive design is positively indexed and cannot slip.
• Large ball bearing stabilizes timing through 10;000 rpm.
• Fresh air vented and sealed to keep the elements out.
• Improved housing design and extra bolt eliminates leaks
• Easily Adjust The Timing Up To +/-5 deg.
