The MSD Front Drive distributor is belt-driven from a pulley installed on the camshaft, using a 9mm belt that's wider than any other drive assembly for increased strength and durability. The distributor head is CNC-machined from a billet of aluminum and secured to a strong precision bracket, with an adjustable Hall-Effect sensor that provides a clean cam sync signal for EFI systems and a built-in LED for quick, easy setup.
