NGK V-Power Spark Plugs
NGK V-Power spark plugs offer economical performance for nearly any automotive application—and they're the only plugs with NGK's V-Groove technology. These plugs enhance ignitability, lower the voltage requirements of ignition systems, and have strong anti-fouling characteristics, while improving fuel mileage and acceleration performance. The V-Power plugs are also highly durable against electrical and chemical wear, making them long-life replacement plugs. Because of the V-Groove, the spark occurs at the edge of the center electrode—so heat is not absorbed by the electrode itself. This allows the flame kernel to expand quickly and efficiently for a complete burn and great performance. More than a hundred models are available, both universal and application-specific; order the plugs designed for fitment on your vehicle.

Autolite Copper Core Spark Plugs
Autolite copper core spark plugs feature a cold-formed steel shell with precision-rolled threads, a full copper core electrode for better performance, and a one-piece terminal post to add strength. The ignition plugs use a copper-glass seal that bonds the insulator and terminal post center electrode together. This ensures full voltage at the spark gap and a 100 percent leak-proof, gas-tight seal. Autolite features an extensive application guide to cover just about everything with an internal combustion engine. Keep your engine running smoothly and reliably with Autolite replacement copper core spark plugs.

PerTronix Ignitor® Solid-State Ignition Systems
PerTronix Ignitor® solid-state ignition systems deliver more energy with greater timing accuracy. The secret lies in the trigger magnets, which spin with the rotor and operate a switching module that requires no external control box. These systems are immune to heat, oil, and debris—and install in about 15 minutes with only two wires to connect. They come with a switching module, hardware, and instructions. Ignitor® is an ideal choice for collector car restoration because it fits entirely under the distributor cap.

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MSD Pro-Billet Ready-to-Run distributors are the perfect upgrade for weak OE electronic distributors, outdated points distributors, and large HEIs or DuraSparks.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.
