Speedway Motors 2897701 Details

Speedway Motors Pro Series Ready to Run Distributor is perfect for a street performance ignition upgrade. It features a CNC-machined billet aluminum body and hardened steel shaft, with a sealed ball bearing on top and a sintered steel bushing on the bottom. It also comes with a fully adjustable mechanical advance, vacuum advance, magnetic pickup trigger, and a high-output circuit board module with digital tach output. The dielectric cap comes with solid brass terminals and a color-matched wire retainer.

An important feature on all Speedway Motors Pro Series distributors is the fully adjustable mechanical advance. This allows you to easily modify the distributor to achieve a variety of timing curves. Included with all Pro Series distributors are four bushings of varied size. The bushing determines the mechanical advance the distributor can achieve. Also included are six springs, with two at each level of tension. The springs control the rate at which the distributor reaches the advance.

What separates a Ready to Run from a Pro Billet is the top-of-the-line internal ignition module. Built using the latest circuit board technology, this module eliminates the need for external ignition control, such as a CDI box. It also comes with a digital tachometer output. With a Pro Series Ready to Run distributor, just hook up your ignition coil, and you're good to go.

Includes:

  • 3 Bushings and 4 Springs for Mechanical Advance
  • Color-Matched Spark Plug Wire Retainer with Screws
  • Vacuum Advance Block-off Plate (Black)
  • Power Extension Cable
  • Tachometer Output Extension Cable

Overall Assessment

Customers appreciate the product for its quality and practicality, acknowledging it as an effective upgrade from a points distributor. The product is praised for its compact size, fitting well even in areas with limited firewall clearance, such as in a 1967 Camaro or a 62 Chevy II. Its adjustability, allowing users to easily dial in their advance curve and adjust the vacuum advance, is highlighted as a useful feature. Moreover, it's considered a reliable piece due to its performance, with users confirming it works as expected and even considering repurchasing for other projects. Some concerns raised regarding the product's cap style were resolved with alternate solutions. Note, however, users suggest clearer instructions for installing the mechanical advance limiting bushing.

Great product great price

Building 62 Chevy ll with very limited firewall clearance, this Stand alone distributor is my second and it will be another purchase for my next build. I'll be putting a stroker Chevy in two wheel drive s-10 blazer. I will use speedway on that build as well.

Not happy with the description, or the service

I purchased this because of the price and because of the style I was very upset to find out that it came with the wrong style cap that did not help me, I called Speedway and spent over an hour on the phone with a lady that was not very knowledgeable she didn't give me any options or any solutions other than maybe go on Amazon or eBay and find a solution. I ended up calling the company that makes the distributors for speedway and they told me how to go about it at the end of the day I went down to my local Napa and I bought a regular old Chevy style cap for the distributor and I threw the other cap that came with it away but I had to spend another $35 I think this is the last purchase I will be making with speedway motors
