This high-performance distributor features a factory-installed steel gear for compatibility with iron and steel camshafts, making it ideal for high-output and racing applications.

Key Features:

  • CNC-machined billet aluminum housing with durable Dupont Rynite base
  • High-quality steel gear pre-installed for iron and steel camshaft compatibility
  • Polished steel shaft with QPQ coating, guided by a sealed ball bearing for smooth operation
  • Fine-blanked chrome moly steel advance plate and weights with QPQ coating for reduced friction
  • Easily adjustable mechanical advance with multiple springs and stop bushings included
  • Advance weight pins are staked and TIG welded to the plate for durability
  • Nylon pads ensure smooth, consistent operation of the advance weights
  • Mechanical advance assembly can be locked out for use with crank trigger ignition systems

Looks like what I want . . . we'll see. Hope it is what was pictured. In any case, the order process was smooth and easy. Best price I could find too.

quick and painless

Very good thank you honda 07 S2000 rear xp10

Good price

Web page was user-friendly. 20% off shipping was very cool. Combined price +shipping was lower than competitors for this part.

Great Service

Cheapest price for Royal Purple oil. Thanks.

No common

Fantastic place to buy from. They had the best price for K&N oil filters for my motorbikes which was good enough. Then I ordered on a Saturday via normal shipping...got it Tuesday morning! Definitely going to order more in the future.

Ordered two items where Autoplicity had the cheapest price and within a few days, it was shipped here as ordered in perfect shape. No hassles at all!

Great Job
