Summit Racing™ Mini High-Torque Starters
You can get up to 50 percent more starting power when you pick Summit Racing™ high-torque mini starters. They're 40 percent lighter, as well as 1/3 smaller. That latter characteristic translates into increased clearance, but both factors can be equally important in a race car. So can features such as full ball-bearing construction, which allows these starters to work great while lasting a long time.

MSD Street Fire HEI Distributors
Street Fire HEI distributors are the value-line brand from MSD Ignition. They offer a quality designed alternative to the bottom bargain parts that spring up in the marketplace. Knowing the importance of a centrifugal advance in a distributor, MSD engineers made sure the Street Fires include an advance assembly with coated weights and welded weight pins. The units are also fit with the same distributor gear that's used on the MSD Pro-Billet models. The metallurgy of this gear has been refined for years to perform through the harshest conditions. Inside, the ignition module and coil work together to produce a stout spark to light the fuel mixture for great performance. Order the Street Fire model recommended for your vehicle and engine application.

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 8.5mm Super Conductor Spark Plug Wire Sets
MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor spark plug wire sets feature a special helically wound core that has just 40-50 ohms of resistance per foot—but with an RFI suppression equal to a 1,500 ohm wire. In fact, each foot of finished wire includes 40 ft. of tightly wound copper for superior conductivity. This winding procedure, combined with a ferro-magnetic impregnated center core, produces an extremely effective Electro Magnetic Interference "choke." This choke, or suppression capability, keeps the EMI inside the wire where it cannot interfere with other electronics on your vehicle. A tough, 8.5mm synthetic/silicone jacket over an extra-heavy glass braid and dielectric insulator keeps the current guided to the plugs. Underneath the high-temperature boots, dual crimp stainless steel terminals feature snap-locks to ensure a secure fit. Each set comes with clip-on cylinder markers for easy identification. MSD's 8.5mm Super Conductor wire sets are available in custom or universal-fit applications, assembled or not, with a variety of terminal and boot end options.
