Product Details

The MSD 85101 Front Drive Distributor is a precision-engineered ignition component designed for high-performance engines requiring accurate cam synchronization. This belt-driven distributor features an integrated adjustable Hall-Effect cam sync sensor, making it ideal for modern EFI systems that require precise camshaft position data.

Key Features:

  • Built-in adjustable Hall-Effect cam sync sensor with LED indicator for simplified setup and tuning
  • Band clamp mounting system allows quick and easy rotor phasing adjustment without disassembly
  • Easily adjustable belt tension system ensures consistent performance
  • Billet aluminum construction on bracket and lower housing provides exceptional strength and durability
  • Injection-molded MSD cap and rotor deliver superior resistance to wear and electrical breakdown
  • Complete installation kit includes cam gear, mounting hardware, and extra-wide 9mm drive belt

This distributor is engineered for racers and enthusiasts running electronic fuel injection who need both ignition distribution and cam sync signal from a single, reliable front-drive unit. The built-in LED on the Hall-Effect sensor simplifies initial timing setup and diagnostic troubleshooting, while the adjustable mounting system allows for precise tuning without complex modifications.
