Mopar Chrysler BB 440 8000 Series Pro Billet Distributor [Black]

Billet Housing:
Speedmaster Pro Billet Serier feature a distributor housing machined from billet aluminum. Speedmaster uses Computerised Numerical Controlled (CNC) mills and lathes to create each housing. This procedure produces a flawless, lightweight distributor housing that is accurate to within 0.001''.

Shaft and Ball Bearing Guide:
The complete line of Speedmaster Distributors uses a polished steel shaft that receives a QPQ, or Tuftride coating. This process produces a durable finish that reduces friction and resists corrosion. To accurately guide this shaft, Speedmaster uses a sealed ball bearing located at the top of the housing. At the bottom of the housing, an extra long sintered bushing controls the shaft. This combination keeps the shaft spinning smooth and accurately throughout 10,000+ rpm.

Magnetic Pickup:
These Speedmaster distributors use a high output magnetic pickup to trigger the ignition system. This pickup is completely maintenance free requiring no adjustment ever. The pickup is mounted to the base of the distributor housing and plugs directly into your Ignition Control. A trigger signal is created as a precision made reluctor (attached to the shaft) passes by. The reluctor has a ''paddle'' for each cylinder and when the paddle passes the pickup, a signal is created.

Adjustable Mechanical Advance:
One of the most important features of the Speedmaster distributors is the adjustable mechanical advance assembly. The advance assembly allows you to accurately modify the advance curve to match your specific application. To start with, the advance plate is stamped and machined from chrome moly, weight pins are then staked in and tig welded in place. This assembly, along with the weights, then receive a corrosion resistant QPQ coating.
