Show original supplier description
Part #: 85557
Different springs and stop bushings are supplied so you can tune an advance curve to match your application. Must be used with an MSD 6, 7 or 8-series ignition.MSD's most popular performance distributor is now available with a black cap that includes 316 Stainless Steel Terminals. 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 Inch 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 maintenancefree! Just above the pick-up is MSD's adjustable mechanical advance assembly.Supplied with an HEI style Black Cap w/316 Stainless Steel terminals and rotor (accepts Cap-A-Dapts)O-ring seals can be added to modified blocks to improve oil pressure controlCNC machined billet aluminum housing and billet aluminum baseNo CARB Exemption Order NumberPolished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearing and extra long sintered bushingNylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weightsSpecial oil tract improves lubrication to the distributor and cam gearMust be used with an MSD 6, 7 or 8 Series Ignition ControlWill not accept a vacuum advance canisterMechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systemsMaintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm rangeEasy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushingsAdvance weight pins are staked and tig welded to the plateAdvance plate and weights are fine blanked from chrome moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reductionDetails:Distributor Cap Included: YesDistributor Type: Magnetic PickupEmission Code: 3Gear Material: Cast Iron Melonized QPQ CoatedIgnition Box Required: YesIgnition Coil Included: NoIgnition Rotor Included: YesWarranty: Manufacturer's Limited 1 Year Warranty
