Chevy
Compact Billet Magnetic Trigger Distributor for Tight Clearances
  • Fits 1955-2003 Chevy V8 Engines
  • Requires a 6, 7, 8 or 10 Series Ignition Control
  • 0.5 in. Smaller Diameter and 1 in. Shorter than Standard
  • No Vacuum Advance Canister

    Firewall clearance, a tall intake or a cowl-mounted brake booster can make a conventional distributor impossible to install. This is the smallest diameter Chevy distributor in the line, measuring a half inch smaller across and over an inch shorter than a standard points-cap unit, while keeping the high output magnetic pickup and adjustable mechanical advance of the full-size versions.

    MSD 85701 Small Diameter Pro-Billet Distributor Features:

    • CNC machined billet aluminum housing sized for tight clearance installations.
    • Must be used with a 6, 7, 8 or 10 Series ignition control.
    • High output magnetic pickup with precision machined reluctor.
    • Fully adjustable mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushings, and it can be locked out for crank trigger use.
    • Adjustable slip collar mounting flange for engines with modified deck heights.
    • Polished QPQ coated shaft on a sealed ball bearing and extra-long sintered bushing.
    • Small diameter HEI style cap and rotor included. Will not accept a vacuum advance canister.

    Emissions Note:

    This part is only legal for sale and use on Uncontrolled (Non-Emissions Controlled) Vehicles or on vehicles used solely for the purposes of closed competition racing.
