Introducing the Street Fire value-line brand of MSD Ignition. Street Fire components offer a quality designed alternative to the bottom bargain parts that are springing up all over. We’re so assured with the quality of our new Street Fire HEI distributor that we provide a one year warranty with it! We know the importance of a centrifugal advance in a distributor so our engineers made sure that the Street Fire receive an advance assembly with coated weights and welded weight pins (Not just pressed in like other models). Another area that you cannot afford to scrimp on is with a distributor gear. The Street Fire is fit with the same gear that is used on our Pro-Billet models. The metallurgy of this gear has been refined for years to perform through the harshest conditions. Inside, the ignition module and coil work together to produce a stout spark to light the fuel mixture for great performance.

Product Features:
  • Included 4-Pin Module
  • The only value priced HEI with a full one year warranty
  • Heavy duty distributor gear for durability

MSD Ignition – Distributor; Tall Block Chevy V8; Low Profile (Part No.8558)

Distributor; Tall Block Chevy V8; Low Profile

from

$471.99
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. 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. Since these distributors are used primarily in racing applications, an oversized steel shaft is responsible for delivering the sparks. This shaft is QPQ coated for friction reduction and receives guidance from a sealed ball-bearing assembly and an extra long, precision sintered bushing for smooth operation. Note: must be used with an MSD crank trigger and ignition control.

Product Features:
  • Designed to fit low in the block to clear firewall/intake combos
  • Supplied w/Bronze Gear
  • Supplied w/Large Diameter HEI Style Distributor Cap And Rotor
  • Must Be Used w/An MSD Crank Trigger And MSD Ignition Control
  • O-ring seals can be installed for oil press. control (Mods only)

All of this is assembled around a precision and great looking CNC machined housing.
