Dial in a street-and-strip timing curve with the MSD Street Pro-Billet Distributor (MPN 8361), a red billet unit with an iron gear and a vacuum advance canister. It's cataloged for a wide range of classic GM V8 rigs — including the 1977-1980 Buick Century and Regal, 1961-1975 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1967-1986 Chevrolet Camaro, 1964-1977 Chevrolet Chevelle, 1970-1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and many GMC C/K trucks and vans. This part fits 119 applications — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full year-make-model list.
Supplied with an HEI-style distributor cap and rotor, and it accepts Cap-A-Dapts. Must be used with an MSD Ignition Control.
Does this distributor need a separate ignition box?
Yes. The Street Pro-Billet relies on its magnetic pick-up to trigger an MSD Ignition Control, which delivers the spark to the coil, so it must be used with an MSD Ignition Control.
What advance does the 8361 use?
It combines a vacuum advance canister for economy with the MSD mechanical advance, letting you dial-in a timing curve. The mechanical assembly can also be locked out for crank-trigger systems.
Does it come with a cap and rotor?
Yes. It is supplied with an HEI-style distributor cap and rotor, and it accepts Cap-A-Dapts.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It's cataloged for 119 classic GM applications across Buick, Chevrolet, GMC and Oldsmobile. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year, make and model.
How is the shaft supported for accurate spark?
An oversized, QPQ-coated polished steel shaft rides in a sealed ball bearing at the top and an extra-long sintered bushing at the bottom, keeping it steady for accurate spark delivery at any rpm.
