The MSD Chrysler 383-400 Ready-to-Run distributor upgrades breaker points or weak electronic ignitions with a maintenance-free magnetic pickup that accurately triggers a built-in, powerful ignition module for quick starts, a smooth idle, and better performance. Installation is simple — drop it in the engine and connect three wires. Front-engine-mount models use a special small-diameter housing to clear aftermarket heads and valve covers. Just beneath the race rotor, a mechanical advance assembly lets the timing curve be tailored to the application, and a vacuum advance canister helps economy on long cruises.
