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.

Edelbrock part No. 22751 Max-Fire Slip Collar distributor for Chevy V-8 engines (except 348/409) is ready to run right out-of-the-box and are the perfect upgrade for your ignition system. They’re ideal for replacing or upgrading from a points triggered distributor. They feature precision machining for a perfect fit along with a simple three wire hook up for an easy installation with no need to run an external ignition control box. The centerless ground shaft utilizes an upper sealed roller bearing with an extra long lower bronze Oil-Lite bushing for smooth operation. The high output magnetic pickup and large paddle wheel reluctor deliver a strong trigger signal at high RPM for maximum performance. All of these features allow Max-Fire distributors to provide unrivaled voltage to the coil, ensuring that you’re getting maximum performance from your engine. We recommend a new Max-Fire coil for maximum voltage output, ensuring you get the most from your high performance engine at higher RPM’s. Each distributor includes a cap, rotor, retainer and mechanical advance curve kit.

Product Features:

• CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with O-ring grooves for use in a fully machined engine block
• Cap and rotor are molded in high quality 30% glass filled polyester for durability and carbon tracking resistance
• Features brass contacts and a stainless steel rotor spring for maximum conductivity
• Hardened iron drive gear ensures long service life
• Fully adjustable mechanical and vacuum advance for increased mileage potential.

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)
• Supplied w/0.006 in. Oversized Bronze Gear Installed
• O-ring seals can be installed for oil press. control (Mods only)
• Special oil tract improves lubrication to the dist./cam gear
• QPQ coated polished steel shaft; guided by sealed ball bearings

The MSD crab cap distributors are built specifically for racing engines with almost no room for a distributor due to tunnel rams or blowers. The distributor is equipped with a special low-profile crab style distributor cap to allow it to fit in extremely tight areas. The housing features two optional O-rings at the bottom that improve oil control by preventing oil pressure loss. Also, a small oil bleed hole located in the base sprays oil on the distributor and camshaft gears to prevent excessive wear. Since this is a racing distributor, there is an adjustable slip collar to make up for engines that have had the distance between the mounting surface and the gear modified. Crowning this distributor is MSD’s own crab cap! This cap incorporates spark plug style terminals for a better connection and grip to the plug wires.

Product Features:

• Must Be Used w/An MSD Crank Trigger And MSD Ignition Control
• Supplied w/Small; Low Crab Style Dist. Cap/Rotor/Bronze Gear
• O-ring seals can be installed for oil press. control (Mods only)
