Upgrade from breaker points or a weak electronic ignition with the MSD Ready-To-Run Pro-Billet Distributor 8387, a red distributor with a built-in ignition module and rev limiter. It's a direct-fit application for the 1963 and 1966-1971 Chrysler 300, 1966-1975 Chrysler Imperial, 1963 and 1966-1978 Chrysler New Yorker, 1963 and 1966-1978 Chrysler Newport, and 1963 and 1968-1977 Chrysler Town & Country — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
A maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor trigger the built-in module, which produces a high-output spark that MSD states improves combustion for quick starts, a smooth idle, and strong performance. Beneath the race rotor sits a mechanical advance assembly, so the timing curve can be tailored to your application.
