Tig welded on top of the distributor shaft is MSD’s adjustable centrifugal advance assembly.

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

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.

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:
