Product Details

The MSD 8401MSD Modified HEI Coil Dust Cover is designed for V8 engines equipped with HEI (High Energy Ignition) distributors that use an externally mounted coil. This modified dust cover replaces the factory HEI distributor cap cover, allowing for a clean, professional installation when converting from the stock internal coil configuration to an external coil setup.

Key Features:

  • Enables use of externally mounted ignition coils on HEI distributors
  • Direct replacement for stock HEI dust cover on V8 applications
  • Eliminates the need for coil mounting within the distributor cap
  • Provides protection and finished appearance for modified HEI distributors
  • Compatible with MSD external coil ignition systems

This cover is ideal for performance ignition upgrades where an external coil provides better access, cooling, and serviceability compared to the factory internal coil design. The modified cover seals and protects the distributor internals while accommodating the external coil wiring configuration.

Easy

My experience was fine.

Best price and free shipping!

Cheap, Easy to pay via Amazon.

Very happy

Quick and easy. Could have left or right side in description though. Other than that 1 phone call cleared up the left and right confusion and placed my order. Great service. I even used again for my rear Lateral arms I just purchased

Good price. Site wouldn't let me pay with paypal, so I had to use my credit card. My first purchase from autoplicity. I received my part very quickly (two days!), and it looks to be a very high quality piece.

Great website, with definitely the lowest prices online. Their system kept me informed every step of the way on my order status. More than the average online store. Autoplicity is now my first stop for auto parts and accessories.
