MSD 8528 Pontiac V8 Ready to Run Distributor

Do yourself and your Poncho a favor and replace your points distributor with a Ready-to-Run model. Youll never have to adjust or replace the points again and your car will run better thanks to the hot MSD sparks. Inside the CNC-machined billet housing there is an ignition module that produces a much hotter spark which will improve the performance of your engine. Also, since timing advance is important to Pontiac engines, the mechanical advance can easily be adjusted with the supplied advance springs and stop bushings. Plus, theres a vacuum advance canister to help economy at moderate cruise speeds.
