MSD's Pro-Billet Distributors use a stock-style trigger pick-up to accept factory connectors — simply remove the stock distributor and bolt the Pro-Billet MSD in its place. Each distributor starts as a solid billet, CNC-machined into a precision housing, with a sealed ball bearing guiding the oversized, QPQ-coated polished steel shaft throughout the rpm range.
