Pontiac Star Chief Performance Distributors

Starting on the inside, a 0.500 In. oversized steel shaft spins in a sealed ball bearing and sintered bushing for long endurance and accurate spark delivery throughout the entire RPM range. Mounted on top of the shaft is an easy-to-adjust chromoly mechanical advance assembly. Different advance springs and stop bushings are supplied so you can choose from 24 curves. A maintenance-free magnetic pick-up provides accurate trigger signals to your MSD Ignition control. A precision-manufactured reluctor that is connected to the shaft is responsible for triggering the pick-up. The distributor is topped off with a high quality black cap and race rotor.

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.

• Complete performance HEI distributor upgrade for Chevy V8 engines
• Supplied w/Brass Terminal Distributor Cap And Rotor
• Full Spark Energy Output To 9000 Rpm
• An 8.5 amp; single spark; inductive discharge ignition module
• Includes MSD PN[83647] and MSD HEI Coil PN[8225]
• 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

Leave it to MSD to build an all-out performance distributor to replace the OEM GM LT1 Optispark. We machine an entire billet block of aluminum down into a precise housing that fits in place of the factory piece. Then, we fill it with a reliable new pick-up assembly, a trick timing adjustment mechanism and top it off with an all new MSD distributor cap. The pick-up is an advanced optical encoder, a different style of optical pickup than the OEM. This type of pick-up has proven to be very reliable and stable through extreme rpm and conditions. The rotor is bolted to a drive assembly that is indexed to the shaft and is stabilized through the use of a large ball bearing assembly. Once installed, you have the ability to adjust the ignition timing. The only distributor that offers timing adjustability. An adjustment screw allows the timing to be tweaked up to 5 degrees. The distributor is equipped with a fresh air vent and has an extra thick mounting surface for the cap to eliminate leaks. The distributor is supplied complete with our heavy duty LT1 cap, rotor and the components required for installation.

Product Features:

• Advanced optical encoder trigger design for accuracy/reliability.
• Rotor drive design is positively indexed and cannot slip.
• Large ball bearing stabilizes timing through 10;000 rpm.
• Improved housing design and extra bolt eliminates leaks
• Easily Adjust The Timing Up To +/-5 deg.

Do yourself and your poncho a favor and replace your points distributor with a Ready-to-Run model. You’ll never have to adjust or replace the points again and your car will run better thanks to the hot MSD sparks. Inside the CNC-machined billet housing the unit incorporates a magnetic pickup that never wears out. Plus, the distributor has a built in ignition module so there is no need to mount an external MSD Ignition control. The module delivers up to 7.5 A to the coil creating a stout inductive spark. Not only do you get the benefits of electronic triggering, but your engine will awaken with powerful sparks from the ignition module. This improves combustion of the fuel mixture resulting in quick starts, a smooth idle and great performance.

Product Features:

• Simple and clean three wire installation
• CARB E.O. Approved
• Does not require an MSD Ignition Control
• Mech. advance assem. can be locked out for crank trigger systems
• Maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor
• Creates stable trigger signals throughout the rpm range
• Vacuum advance canister for improved economy (can be locked out)
• Easy-to-adjust mech. advance w/supplied springs and stop bushings

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)
• Special oil tract improves lubrication to the dist./cam gear

GM late-model performance enthusiasts will be happy to see this Pro-Billet distributor. The distributor, PN 8366, is a drop-in. Replacement for GM V8s using the small cap distributor with a dual connector coil found in cars from 1987-1993 and trucks from 1987 to 1995. The entire housing is CNC-machined to exact tolerances for incredible strength (Not to mention cool looks). For improved lubrication there is an extra oil tract machined into the bottom of the housing that delivers oil directly to the cam and distributor gears. Inside, a polished steel shaft receives guidance from a sealed ball bearing and an extra-long sintered bushing adds stability. This 0.500 In. shaft also receives a QPQ coating for increased friction reduction and corrosion resistance. A factory-style ignition module is supplied with the distributor so your factory wiring will plug directly in triggering this module is the responsibility of a high output magnetic pick-up.
