CARB E.O. approved. This is a CNC-machined billet aluminum housing built for street and performance use.
Does this distributor work on its own?
No. The 8519 must be used with an MSD Ignition Control, such as an MSD 6, 7, 8 or 10 Series unit, to fire the ignition.
What's included with the distributor?
It ships as a Pro-Billet unit with an HEI-style cap, race rotor, and gear, plus a vacuum advance canister and springs and stop bushings for tuning the mechanical advance.
Can I lock out the vacuum advance?
Yes. The vacuum advance canister is provided for improved economy during street cruising and can be locked out if you prefer a fixed advance curve.
Which vehicles does the 8519 fit?
It fits a range of AMC and Jeep models, including the Ambassador, Javelin, Matador, Hornet, Cherokee, CJ5, CJ7, J10 and J20. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete list.
Does the magnetic pickup need adjustment?
No. The maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor never require adjustment and plug directly into an MSD Ignition Control.
