MSD Pro-Billet Distributors

MSD Pro-Billet distributors share the same CNC machining techniques as the rest of the MSD distributor line. They feature a housing that's machined from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum for durability and show-quality looks. Their oversized shaft receives a QPQ coating for friction reduction and corrosion resistance, with the added strength of two sealed ball bearings that guide the shaft accurately at well over 10,000 rpm. An extra-long sintered bushing replaces the ball bearing at the bottom of Chevrolet models. TIG-welded on top of the polished steel shaft is MSD's accurate mechanical advance assembly. The weights are supported by nylon pads that allow the advance to operate smoothly throughout the rpm range. For all-out racing, the advance mechanism can also be easily locked out. To accurately trigger the ignition, a high-output magnetic pickup is bolted to the base. This pickup produces a precise trigger signal that will never vary more than one degree at any rpm. A durable gear is installed for performance applications, and an MSD red cap with brass terminals and race rotor is supplied. They're available in standard and small diameter models for applications with limited clearance, and require the use of a separate ignition box such as an MSD 6, 7, 8, or 10 Series ignition.

MSD Pro-Billet Ready-to-Run Distributors

MSD Pro-Billet Ready-to-Run distributors are the perfect upgrade for weak OE electronic distributors, outdated points distributors, and large HEIs or DuraSparks. All that's required is to install the distributor in the engine, and connect three wires and the coil! A maintenance-free magnetic pickup accurately triggers this ignition with increased output from the amplifier, easily outperforming stock ignitions. It will smooth out the engine's idle, improve starting, and perform at a much higher rpm. The housing is machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum, using state-of-the-art CNC mills and lathes for a unit with no porosity or weak areas. For stability and endurance, an oversized steel shaft spins in a top-mounted sealed ball bearing, while an extra-long sintered bushing guides the shaft at the base of the housing. This shaft also receives a QPQ coating for low friction wear and resistance against corrosion from humidity and ozone buildup. The distributors feature MSD's adjustable mechanical advance, which allows you to custom-tailor an ignition curve to match your engine's needs. Most models are also available with a vacuum advance canister to help improve economy. Order the model recommended for your vehicle and engine application.

Holley Sniper EFI HyperSpark Distributor Kits

Holley Sniper EFI HyperSpark distributor kits were designed to make upgrading your ignition on a Sniper EFI-equipped engine simple. When installed concurrently with a new Sniper EFI system, the combination creates the easiest way to install EFI conversion on the market—and only four flying lead connections are required! The harness only requires one connection to a switched power source, battery positive, battery negative, and fuel pump power. The pre-terminated connectors and a built in 40A relay provides power to all of the components within the system. With the included Sniper EFI main harness you no longer need to run multiple wires to provide switched power for each individual component, which not only helps prevent wiring confusion, but it will also speed up your install time and clean up your engine bay. Simply route the harness and pre-terminated connectors to your HyperSpark coil, distributor, and ignition box and plug them in. Available for all popular engine combinations, these kits come with a distributor, coil, ignition box, and an integrated Sniper EFI harness. Order the application you need. Key features: * Plug-and-Play Sniper EFI main harness replaces the standard Sniper EFI harness with four loose leads, battery positive, battery ground, switched 12 V, and fuel pump power, for a simple and streamline installation * Designed for existing or new Sniper EFI installations (the HyperSpark Master Kit harness retains the same flying lead wire colors as the Sniper EFI main harness; new installations will not use the Sniper EFI standard harness or coil driver * Complete ignition system in a box, including: HyperSpark ignition box, HyperSpark ignition coil, HyperSpark distributor (for your application), and a plug-and-play main harness * HyperSpark distributors feature a Hall Effect crank trigger sensor providing a noise-free rpm signal to the Sniper ECU * Patented clear installation cap eliminates any confusion while installing the distributor * HyperSpark CD ignition box is seal and powder coated to be installed in the harshest of locations * External LED on HyperSpark CD Ignition box helps verify 12 V, cranking rpm, and low battery voltage * 135mJ of spark energy when used with the HyperSpark ignition coil, ensures complete combustion * Integrated ignition coil bracket simplifies mounting the Ignition coil * Ignition coil connector removes any doubt of loose connections at the Ignition coil * Enables timing control on a Sniper EFI Installation
