MSD 8361 Billet Chevy distributor

MSD Street Pro-Billet V8 PN 8361
The Street Pro-Billet is a popular route for people looking for proven race performance for their street cars. A vacuum advance canister provides improved economy and the proven MSD mechanical advance mechanism gives you the opportunity to dial-in a timing curve to fit your needs. As always, an advance kit of springs and stop bushings is included.

Like every MSD Chevrolet Pro-Billet Distributor, the housing features an all billet aluminum design for accuracy to within .001". An oversized steel shaft is QPQ coated for low friction and rides in a sealed ball bearing at the top of the distributor with an extra long sintered bushing at the bottom. This combination keeps the shaft steady creating accurate spark delivery at any rpm.

The Street Pro-Billet relies on a magnetic pickup to trigger the MSD Ignition Control that delivers the powerful sparks to the coil. This pickup is extremely accurate and never needs adjusting.

The Street Pro-Billet is CARB approved for use in all the states and will deliver race quality performance to your street car.

NOTE: Must be used with an MSD 6, 7, 8 or 10 Series Ignition. Supplied with cap and rotor.

MSD 85551 Billet Chevy distributor

Pro-Billet Chevrolet V8 PN 85551
This is our most popular performance distributor! The housing is machined from a billet of 6061-T6 aluminum on a state-of-the-art CNC machine producing exact tolerances. Modified blocks can also take advantage of the O-ring seals to help maintain proper pressure.

For high rpm stability, a sealed ball bearing and a long sintered bushing support a .500” steel shaft. This shaft also receives a QPQ coating for friction reduction and resistance to corrosion. A precision-machined reluctor is attached to the shaft that triggers the magnetic pickup mounted in the housing.

This high output magnetic pickup is the most accurate way to trigger your ignition. Plus, with no moving parts to wear or adjust, the pickup is maintenance-free! Just above the pickup is MSD's adjustable mechanical advance assembly. Different springs and stop bushings are supplied so you can tune an advance curve to match your application.

NOTE: Must be used with an MSD 6, 7, 8 or 10 Series Ignition. Supplied with a Cap and Rotor.

MSD 8360 Chevy distributor self contained

MSD Pro-Billet Ready-to-Run PN 8360
The Pro-Billet Ready-to-Run distributor is the perfect upgrade for outdated points distributors or bulky HEI's. All that is required is to install the distributor in the engine, connect three wires and the coil!

A maintenance-free magnetic pickup accurately triggers this ignition. The increased output of the amplifier easily outperforms stock ignitions and will smooth out the engine's idle, improve starting and provide a much higher rpm range.

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 Ready-to-Run features MSD's adjustable mechanical advance which allows you to custom tailor an ignition curve to match your engine's needs. There is also a vacuum advance canister to help improve economy. For positive street performance, the Ready-to-Run is the best choice.

NOTE: Supplied with a cap, rotor and vacuum advance. If replacing a GM HEI, a Blaster SS coil and coil wire are required (this is available in a kit, PN 8474).

MSD, 8365, Chevy, billet, HEI, distributor

MSD Pro-Billet GM HEI Distributor PN 8365
Originally, the GM HEI Distributor was a good economical plan with everything in one housing and easy installation. However, when it came to performance, it fell far short. That is why MSD engineers designed a Pro-Billet HEI Distributor along with a powerful ignition module and coil.

Drawing on years of high performance ignition experience, MSD engineers created a unique digital ignition module and internal coil that are capable of running above 9,000 rpm. Stock and other "performance" modules lose spark energy at about 4,500 rpm. The MSD module produces 50% more current than stock units and delivers a much more precise timing signal as well as dwell control. This module also has a built-in rev limiter!

For strength and high rpm stability, the QPQ treated oversized shaft is guided by a sealed ball bearing and long sintered bushing. The QPQ coating provides a low friction coating on the shaft and also makes it highly resistant to corrosion.

Tig welded to the top of the shaft is MSD's adjustable mechanical advance assembly. The distributor is supplied with extra springs and stop bushings so you can tailor an ignition curve to match your driving needs. The advance assembly features chrome moly weights that slide on nylon pads for smooth, timing advancement through the entire rpm range. There is also a vacuum advance canister to improve economy while cruising.

All of these features are enclosed in a great looking, billet aluminum housing that is CNC machined for accuracy and incredible strength. The distributor comes complete and ready to drop in with a high quality rotor and cap with brass terminals for great spark transfer. Simply connect a 12 volt source to the distributor and you're up and running.

NOTE: The PN 8365 is designed to replace GM HEI Distributors that use a 4-Pin ignition module.

Ford Street Pro-Billet

Ford Street Pro-Billet Distributors PN 8477, 8478, 8479
The Street Pro-Billet Distributors are the perfect choice for powerful engines that see plenty of street time. A vacuum advance canister provides improved economy and an accurate mechanical advance lets you dial-in an advance curve to match your driving needs. The diameter of the CNC machined billet aluminum housing is 5/8” smaller in diameter compared to the large stock housing. This makes for a cleaner appearance in the engine compartment plus creates room for other accessories.

Inside the housing a heavy duty sealed ball bearing is used to guide a polished steel shaft. A reluctor with eight precision paddles is attached to the shaft and triggers the magnetic pickup that signals the MSD Ignition Control to fire. This combination produces accurate trigger signals that remain stable throughout the entire rpm range of your engine and is completely maintenance-free. Supplied with cap and rotor.

NOTE: Must be used with an MSD 6, 7, 8 or 10 Series Ignition Control.

For Ford enthusiasts that are serious about performance, these Billet Distributors have precision tolerances, high strength and incredible endurance.

The assembly is fine blanked from chrome moly steel; tig welded for strength plus receives a QPQ coating. The precision weights glide on nylon bushings for smooth advancement and different springs and stop bushings are supplied so a variety of advance curves can be tuned.

The steel shaft that spins the advance and reluctor receives a friction reducing coating plus is guided by a sealed ball bearing. This combination provides stable timing signals and spark delivery at any rpm. Triggering chores are handled by MSD's race proven, maintenance-free magnetic pickup.

For maximum protection against crossfire, the Billet Ford V8 Distributors are equipped with a large cap that has "spark plug" style terminals for secure wire attachment. On applications with limited space around the distributor, you can use MSD distributor cap PN 8433 and the PN 8467 rotor.

MSD Ford FE Ready to run

Ready-to-Run Pro-Billet Ford FE and Y-Blocks
MSD is excited to introduce two new Ready-to-Run Distributors for two classic Ford engines! These distributors are the answer to weak breaker points or rebuilt aftermarket models.
MSD starts with a brand new CNC machined billet aluminum housing and installs a ball bearing to guide a polished steel shaft for great stability and endurance.
Inside this housing there is a high output ignition module. When the maintenance-free magnetic pickup signals the module to fire, up to 7.5 amps is sent to the coil where a powerful spark is created. This improved spark output results in quick starts, snappy throttle response and terrific drivability.
The distributors are equipped with a vacuum advance canister for cruising economy. Plus, there is a mechanical advance assembly that is mounted on top of the distributor shaft making it easy to adjust the advance to meet your needs.
Another great feature of the Ready-to-Run Distributors is their simple installation! All you need to do is connect three wires and you’ll be cruising!

MSD Ford FE Pro-Billet distributor

Pro-Billet Ford FE Distributor
Racers and nostalgic Ford enthusiasts using the famous Ford FE engine now have access to a distributor that is truly equal to the performance level of their engine.

For maximum strength, the base and the housing are precisely machined from a solid bar of 6061-T6 aluminum. To allow the distributor to perform in excess of 10,000 rpm, ball bearings are added to the housing to guide the shaft throughout the entire rpm range.

The mechanical advance assembly is positioned so it can be adjusted without disassembling the distributor. Precision ground advance weights are supported by nylon pads for ultra-smooth operation. In addition, the specially ground advance cam is tig-welded to the 9/16” hardened shaft and the weight pins are staked and tig-welded to the advance plate.

The distributor comes complete with the new MSD Retainer cap with spark plug style terminals, Race Rotor and gear.

NOTE: Must be used with an MSD 6, 7, 8 or 10 Series Ignition. Supplied with cap and rotor. Does not accept a vacuum advance or Cap-A-Dapt.
