Overview

The MSD 83811 is a performance distributor designed as a replacement for the OEM GM LT1 Optispark system. It features a precision-machined billet aluminum housing and an advanced optical encoder for accurate and reliable ignition triggering. This distributor allows for on-the-fly ignition timing adjustments, with an adjustment screw enabling tweaks of up to +/-5°.

This unit includes a heavy-duty LT1 cap and rotor, as well as the necessary components for installation. It is designed with a fresh air vent and an extra thick mounting surface for the cap to prevent leaks. The rotor is secured to a drive assembly that is indexed to the shaft and stabilized by a large ball bearing, capable of handling up to 10,000 rpm.
