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.

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.
