MSD : 8485 : VolksWagen : Distributor - Pro-Billet - Magnetic Pickup

Using technology gained from building distributors for off-road and NASCAR racers, MSD offers this Billet Distributor for the popular Type 1 engine. A maintenance-free magnetic pickup is responsible for triggering the MSD Ignition. This pickup is accurate to within 1° at any rpm so you won't have to worry about points float or “burbles” at top end speeds. The pickup is triggered by a precision reluctor that is attached to a hardened steel shaft.
  • For increased stability, a sealed ball bearing is used to guide the shaft.
  • Since every engine application is different, the MSD Billet Distributor features an easy-to-adjust mechanical advance assembly.
  • By simply changing the advance springs and stop bushing you can tune in 24 different advance curves.
  • NOTE: Must be used with an MSD 6, SCI or 7 Series Ignition. Supplied with cap and rotor. Does not accept a vacuum advance.
  • NOTE: Different style spark plug terminals and boots are required or use MSD’s custom sets, PN 3193 or PN 31939.
