Part Details Related Products Vehicle Fitment Reviews
The housing is machined from a billet of 6061-T6 aluminum on a state-of-the-art CNC machine producing exact tolerances. For high rpm stability, a .500 in. steel shaft is supported by a sealed ball bearing and a long sintered bushing. This shaft also receives a QPQ coating for friction reduction and resistance to corrosion. A precision machined reluctor is attached to the shaft which triggers the magnetic pick-up mounted in the housing. This high output magnetic pick-up is the most accurate way to trigger your ignition. Plus, with no moving parts to wear or adjust, the pick-up is maintenance free! Just above the pick-up is MSD's adjustable mechanical advance assembly.Different springs and stop bushings are supplied so you can tune an advance curve to match your application.Features:CNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum baseWill not accept a vacuum advance canisterMust be used with an MSD Ignition ControlSupplied with an HEI style distributor cap and rotor (accepts Cap-A-Dapts)O-ring seals can be added to modified blocks to improve oil pressure controlSpecial oil tract improves lubrication to the distributor and cam gearNylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weightsAdvance weight pins are staked and tig welded to the plateMechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systemsAdvance plate and weights are fine blanked from chrome moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reductionPolished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearing and extra long sintered bushingMaintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm rangeEasy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushingsNo CARB Exemption Order Number
