The MSD HEAT HEI module uses upgraded components to produce high output for both stock and MSD applications, and it adds a built-in rev limiter that's more accurate and easier to set with the engine running than typical adjustable limiters. It's a direct fit into stock HEI distributors on non-computer-controlled 4-pin housings, delivering up to 8.5 amps and advanced dwell control for improved high-rpm output — the rev limiter can even be adjusted externally without removing the cap.
