Chevy w/HEI-Style Terminals
    Crank Trigger Distributor
  • Chevy V8 Low Profile
  • Tall Block

    The unique design of this distributor fits tight intake systems while still transferring the high volt-age of the MSD racing ignition to the spark plugs. The high voltage carrying capabilities are the re-sult of several features which have been designed into this distributor. This includes a large diameter cap with wide spaced terminals and an injection moulded Rynite rotor with thick vanes to stur up the air inside the cap. The high dielectric Rynite base also prevents arcing to the billet housing which is fitted with a slip collar. The distributor has an oversized steel shaft that is guided with a sealed ball-bearing assembly and extra long sintered bushing for smooth operation.
  • Designed to fit low in the block to clear firewall and intake combinations
  • Adjustable slip collar mounting flange for engines with modified deck heights
  • Special oil tract improves lubrication to the distributor and cam gear
  • O-ring seals can be added to modified blocks to improve oil pressure control
  • Must be used with an MSD Crank Trigger and MSD 6, 7 or 8 Series Ignition Control
  • Supplied with large diameter HEI style distributor cap and rotor
  • Supplied with bronze gear for roller cam usage
  • Not legal for use on a pollution controlled vehicle
