The MSD Chevy V8 Street Pro-Billet distributor uses a magnetic pickup to trigger an MSD 6, 7, or 8-series Ignition Control, delivering powerful, accurate sparks with a pickup that never needs adjustment. A vacuum advance canister improves economy while MSD's proven mechanical advance lets the timing curve be dialed in to match the engine's needs. Inside, an oversized steel shaft is QPQ-coated for low friction and rides in a sealed ball bearing at the top with an extra-long sintered bushing at the bottom, keeping spark delivery accurate at any rpm.
