The MSD Circle Track HEI distributor is peaked and tuned for racing reliability while keeping a stock appearance to meet sanctioning body HEI rules. A bulletproof ignition module fires a high-output coil in the cap, while a QPQ-coated chromoly advance cam and weight set ride on a tig-welded weight plate and tig-welded distributor shaft for brute strength and precision timing from idle to max rpm. A QPQ-coated steel gear is built to withstand lap after lap without fatigue.
