Watch the video below to learn which MSD Distributor is best for your application.

 

The Chevrolet HEI Distributor is a favorite for muscle cars, street rods and even circle track racers. The integrated coil keeps underhood wiring clean, and for race cars, the idea of running one wire to the distributor keeps things simple. However, when it comes to performance, the stock HEI falls short. The MSD Pro-Billet HEI picks up where a stock HEI falls short with a digital module and high output coil, so there is plenty of spark energy combined with improved dwell and timing control.

    MSD 8728 Soft Touch Rev Limiter Control for HEI
    x
    							                        

    The Soft Touch Rev Control, PN 8728, is designed to be used on standard points ignition or inductive ignition systems. This means that the PN 8728 can be installed on engines with a GM HEI Ignition, Ford or Chrysler electronic ignition, any standard breaker points systems or even with an MSD 5 or Blaster Ignition (non-CD ignitions). The RPM Limiter is adjusted with plug-in modules and is supplied with 6,000, 7,000 and 8,000 rpm modules. When the engine reaches your set rpm, the Soft Touch circuitry kicks in and drops the spark to certain cylinders. This rpm limiter produces very accurate and smooth, backfire-free rev limits.

    • Can be used on 4, 6 or 8-cylinder engines with inductive ignitions
    • Adjusted with plug-in modules
    • Includes 6,000, 7,000 and 8,000 rpm modules
    • No MSD ignition control box required

    MSD 35599 8.5mm Spark Plug Wires Set, S/B Chevy HEI, Under Headers
    x
    							                        

    What makes or breaks a plug wire is not only how well the wire is insulated, but how low of resistance the center core has. These assembled wire sets test 40-50 ohms per foot, while most others test 1500 ohms per foot.

    These low resistance spark plug wires are designed for Small Block Chevys with HEI and are routed under the headers.

    MSD 31359 8.5mm Spark Plug Wires Set, Chevy HEI, Over Valve Cover
    x
    							                        

    The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire is "the" performance wire. Engineered from the inside out, the 8.5 offers everything you have ever wanted in a wire; incredibly low resistance without electronic interference! In a single 12 inch length of low resistance spark plug wire there is only 40 - 50 ohms of resistance! That is the lowest resistance of any helically wound wire.

    To accomplish this, MSD uses a copper alloy conductor due to it's great voltage carrying capabilities. The low resistance results in less loss in spark energy so more reaches the spark plug. The conductor is wound extremely tight around a special center core. So tight in fact, that there is over 40 feet of conductor wrapped into a single foot of plug wire. This winding procedure, combined with a ferro-magnetic impregnated center core, produces an extremely effective Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) "choke". This choke, or suppression capability, keeps the EMI inside the wire where it cannot interfere with other electronics on your vehicle. The outer sleeve that surrounds the conductor assembly is just as impressive. A proprietary blend of silicone and synthetic material produce a sleeve that is highly resistant to high heat as well as abrasion and tears.

    x
    							                        

    This is the easiest to install, easiest to adjust CNC machined distributor you will find. Just drop in as you normally would, hook up the three wires, set the initial timing, run a vacuum line to the advance and you are ready to dial it in. Literally. The knob on the side allows you to change timing up or down 1/2 a degree at a time. Starts producing a super hot spark at 50 rpm for easy starting and keeps putting out through 10,000 rpm. It also has a small diameter cap to clear tight fit applications.

    • Cap diameter is 4.138 or slightly over 4 1/8”
    • Cap diameter at the hold down boss is 4.624 or approximately 4 5/8”
    • Cap height is 4.354 or about 4 3/8” from attachment surface to top of male plug wire post
    • Comes with the plug wire retainer plate and a 3 wire pigtail with female plug in

    Cap has HEI-style terminals. Fits Small Block and Big Block Chevy V8.

The easily seen, 10” long, red and green wires identify battery and tachometer.

    • Wire your HEI distributor like the factory
    • Red and green wires identify battery and tach leads
