For value-conscious enthusiasts, the MSD Street Fire HEI distributor with black cap gives Chevy V8 engines a dependable advance assembly with coated weights and welded weight pins, along with the same distributor gear used on MSD's Pro-Billet models. Inside, the ignition module and coil work together to produce a stout spark that's carried through a new rotor to the brass terminals of the black distributor cap and out to the plugs — the first product in MSD's value-branded ignition line.
