Diehard Oldsmobile enthusiasts have been asking about a Ready-to-Run
Distributor and here it is! Ready-to-Run means just that, drop it in the engine,
connect three wires and fire up your Olds.

Inside the billet aluminum housing there is a high-output inductive ignition
module that lights the spark. This module now has a built-in rev limiter to
protect your Olds from overrev demage. A polished steel shaft spins in the
center of this module and is guided by a sealed ball bearing for great stability.

Another great benefit of the MSD Ready-to-Run distributor is the mechanical
advance. The weights and assembly are fine-blanked from chromoly for
absolute precision resulting in smooth timing changes. You can set up a timing
curve to match your engine's specifications easily with the supplied advance
springs and bushings plus there is a vacuum advance for economy.

The Distributor is supplied with the MSD Cap, Race Rotor, wire retainer and gear.

Features:

  • Simple and clean installation with only three wires to connect
  • CARB E.O. Approved
  • Does not require an MSD Ignition Control
  • Supplied with an HEI style distributor cap and rotor (accepts Cap-A-Dapts)
  • Nylon pads ensure smooth operation of the advance weights

  • Mechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systems
  • Advance plate and weights are fine blanked from chrome moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reduction
  • Polished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by two sealed ball bearings
  • Maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout the rpm range
