Product Details

The MSD 85505 Pro-Billet Distributor is a precision-engineered performance distributor designed for Chevy V8 engines requiring locked-out timing control. Machined from billet aluminum with a distinctive black finish, this distributor delivers race-proven reliability and must be used with an MSD Ignition Control box for operation.

Key Features:

  • Locked-Out Mechanical Advance: Weight pins are staked and TIG welded to the plate for fixed timing control, ideal for racing and forced induction applications
  • Precision CNC Machined Construction: Billet aluminum housing and base provide superior strength while reducing weight compared to cast distributors
  • QPQ Coated Components: Chrome moly steel rotor plate and polished steel shaft feature QPQ coating for extreme friction reduction and wear resistance
  • Sealed Ball Bearing Design: Shaft guided by sealed ball bearing ensures smooth, wobble-free operation at all RPM ranges
  • Maintenance-Free Magnetic Pickup: Precision reluctor and magnetic pickup generate stable trigger signals throughout the entire RPM range
  • Bronze Gear: Durable bronze distributor gear for compatibility with steel or cast iron camshafts

This distributor is designed for high-performance and racing applications where timing is controlled externally through the ignition box. The fine-blanked chrome moly rotor plate and QPQ-coated shaft deliver professional-grade durability and precision. Note that this distributor requires an MSD Ignition Control box and is not compatible with stock ignition systems.

Fast connection with Amazon

Very well need more options in brake parts

Easy and the cheapest price I found.

quick and easy

Great shopping experience have ordered from autoplicity several times. Only downfall is they don't offer free shipping but usually the price plus shipping is less than anywhere else.

Best deal I've seen on that resonator .

Purchased a roll-n-lock bed cover. Ordering was easy and it was the lowest price by far that I could find online. Shipped within 48 hrs as informed. I have not yet rec'd it so I cannot comment on the packaging just yet. Sofar a good online purchase experience.
