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 Distributor was designed for racers and street rodders that have space limitations due to firewall interference, blowers or oversized intake manifolds such as tunnel rams. The distributor is 3/8″ narrower and almost 1″ shorter than a standard distributor. Proven performance features include a high output magnetic pick-up and precision machined reluctor for accurate ignition triggering. A fully adjustable mechanical advance allows you to tailor the advance curve to your specific application. Topping it all off is our own small diameter cap. This is molded out of durable Rynite® material and comes with an optional wire retainer.

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.

Distributor

If you have a slightly taller block or have decked the heads, the distance between the distributor mounting pad and the cam gear-oil pump drive may be different. MSD offers these distributor with an adjustable slip collar with 1.5 In. of adjustment so you can be sure the distributor is installed correctly. The distributor shares the same?features of the standard Pro-Billet Chevrolet model including a ball bearing guide, long sintered lower bushing and an oil seal. To trigger the MSD Ignition a maintenance-free magnetic pick-up is secured in the billet base of the distributor. Just above this pick-up assembly is an adjustable mechanical advance assembly.

Product Features:

• CNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum base
• Will not accept a vacuum advance canister
• Must Be Used w/An MSD Ignition Control
• Supplied w/HEI style distributor cap/rotor (accepts Cap-A-Dapts)
• 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
• Advance weight pins are staked and tig welded to the plate
