Product Description

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 pickup. This pickup is extremely accurate and never requires adjustment. Since this distributor is designed primarily for race engines, an oversized (+0.006 Inch) bronze gear is installed along with an adjustable slip collar for modified blocks, heads or intake manifolds.

More Features
  • Maintenance Free Magnetic Pickup And Precision Reluctor Create Stable Trigger Signals Throughout The RPM Range
  • Adjustable Slip Collar Mounting Flange For Engines With Modified Deck Heights
  • O-Ring Seals Can Be Added To Modified Blocks To Improve Oil Pressure Control
