This high-performance distributor features a CNC-machined billet aluminum housing and base, combined with a polished steel shaft that's QPQ coated for superior wear resistance and guided by a sealed ball bearing for smooth, reliable operation.

Key Features:

  • CNC-machined billet aluminum construction for lightweight strength and precision
  • Steel gear pre-installed for durability and compatibility
  • QPQ-coated polished steel shaft with sealed ball bearing for reduced friction
  • Maintenance-free magnetic pickup with precision reluctor for stable trigger signals throughout the RPM range
  • Easy-to-adjust mechanical advance system with included springs and stop bushings
  • Advance plate and weights fine-blanked from chrome moly steel with QPQ coating
  • Nylon pads ensure smooth advance weight operation
  • Advance weight pins are staked and TIG welded to the plate for security
  • Mechanical advance can be locked out for crank trigger system applications
  • Small cap design for clearance-limited applications

This distributor combines race-proven engineering with premium materials to deliver consistent ignition timing and reliable performance for street and performance Ford small block applications.
