Essential 1978 GMC K15 Performance Distributors
MSD Ignition – Distributor; Street Fire; Chevrolet V8 GM HEI with 4-Pin Module (Part No.8362)
from
$259.99
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.

MSD Ignition – Distributor; Billet GM HEI (Part No.8365)
from
$594.99
The Chevrolet HEI distributor is a favorite for muscle cars, street rods and even circle track racers. The integrated coil keeps under mount wiring clean, and for race cars, the idea of running one wire to the distributor keeps things simple. However, when it comes to performance, the stock HEI falls short. MSD answers the need for a strong, accurate and high performance HEI with our Pro-Billet HEI. The distributor is supplied with our digital HEI module and coil so there is plenty of spark energy combined with improved dwell and timing control. Tig welded on top of the distributor shaft is MSD’s adjustable centrifugal advance assembly. Three sets of springs and four stop bushings let you dial in up to 24 different timing curves to match your driving needs. Plus, there’s a vacuum advance for those concerned with economy. All of this is assembled around a precision and great looking CNC machined housing.

MSD Ignition – Distributor; Chevy V8; Billet with Vacuum Advance (Part No.8361)
from
$399.99
The street Pro-Billet is a popular route for people looking for proven race performance for their street cars. A vacuum advance canister provides economy and the proven MSD mechanical advance gives you the opportunity to dial-in a timing curve to fit your needs. Inside, an oversized steel shaft is QPQ coated for low friction and rides in a sealed ball bearing at the top of the distributor with an extra-long sintered bushing at the bottom. This combination keeps the shaft steady creating accurate spark delivery at any RPM. The street Pro-Billet relies on a magnetic pick-up to trigger the MSD Ignition control which delivers the powerful sparks to the coil. This pick-up is extremely accurate and never needs adjusting.
