    JEGS 555-40522 SSR-III Ready-to-Run (RTR) Pro-Series Distributors

    The SSR-III RTR Pro Series Distributor is engineered for maximum ignition performance with a 7.5-amp rated dwell control circuit, delivering 400 volts and 125mJ of spark energy to the coil, while generating 46,000 volts from the coil to the plug for powerful and consistent spark delivery. Designed for precision and reliability, it features a single-stage rev limiter, which is easily set by grounding the tachometer lead at half the desired engine speed. The tach lead outputs a 25% duty cycle square wave signal, ensuring compatibility with multifunction tachometers and most aftermarket EFI systems. For improved hot restarts and reduced strain on the electrical system, a fully automatic start retard provides 4 degrees of timing retard during cranking, which is fully dialed out by 300 RPM. Built for durability, the digital inductive control module includes reverse polarity protection, while the isolated grounding system ensures a stable ground connection even if the distributor body isn’t in direct contact with the engine block or intake manifold. With its high-output performance and advanced features, the SSR-III RTR Pro Series Distributor delivers exceptional ignition control, making it the perfect choice for demanding applications.

    JEGS 555-40522 SSR-III Ready-to-Run (RTR) Pro-Series Distributor Features:

    • No external ignition box is required
    • Fully adjustable mechanical advance
    • Small diameter cap for tight engine bays
    • Magnetic style pickup with high-output module
    • Red Cap with solid brass male terminals
    • CNC-machined billet aluminum body with a hardened steel shaft

    JEGS 555-40522 SSR-III Ready-to-Run (RTR) Pro-Series Distributor Notes:

    • Requires use of CD (Capacity Discharge) Ignition Coil, we recommend 555-40155, 555-40150, 555-40118 and 555-40119 sold separately
    • The Built-In Rev Limiter is Turned Off from the Factory
      • Rev Limiter is ONLY for use on Carbureted Engines
      • Rev Limiter is NOT Compatible and MUST be Left Off on Fuel Injected (EFI) Engines
      • Setting and Adjustment of the Rev Limiter Requires the use of a "Square Wave Signal" Compatible Tachometer such as JEGS 555-41262 or equivalent (sold separately)
    • The Start Retard Function is Preset @ 4 Degrees of Retard, Fully Automatic, and Requires NO Input or Programming
    • Will not fit post-1985 High Output 5.0L engines because of the included iron gear; typically, 5.0L engines require a steel gear and lack of EFI/TFI compatibility

      • Professional Series Ready-To-Run Distributors

        JEGS SSR-III Pro Series RTR Distributors come ready to run out of the box! Featuring a magnetic trigger, and a built-in module and does not require a separate ignition box to operate. All-Pro Series distributors come with a CNC-machined, forged aluminum housing; while the polished 1/2 in. shaft is centerless ground allowing for tighter tolerances and a smoother finish after manufacturing. The shaft rides in an upper-sealed roller bearing and lower oil-impregnated bronze bushing, for reduced friction and premature wear. Equipped with a small-diameter male cap with brass terminals, these reliable distributors come complete with wiring and connector harnesses. Expect years of accurate operation with a 35 percent increase in voltage output over a stock distributor, and up to 10,000 RPM performance from every Pro-Series RTR Distributor.
