Built for dependable ignition control, this performance distributor delivers stable spark output and reliable operation across a wide RPM range.

The machined aluminum housing, precision shaft support, and performance ignition components help maintain accurate timing across the RPM range. This listing is structured for clear engine , ignition compatibility, and installation requirements.

The ready-to-run design uses an onboard ignition module, eliminating the need for a separate ignition box while retaining external-coil flexibility.

Always verify distributor gear compatibility with the camshaft material, confirm wiring requirements, and set timing during installation.
