This Ready-to-Run distributor drops into a classic Chevy 348/409 engine and fires up with just a three-wire connection, since the ignition module is built directly into the housing. A chromoly mechanical advance assembly sits above the maintenance-free magnetic pickup for smooth, easy-to-adjust timing, and a vacuum canister is included for cruising. The distributor accepts a stock-style points-style cap for a factory-correct look under the hood.
