My $400 dist.
« on: October 04, 2008 - 06:20:12 PM »
How it happen is a story...was going to get a Msd Pro Billet dist for my little sb Mopar...even order it from Summit, then before it came I notice it was a Billet, not Pro Billet...the base models have Dupont Rynite, glass-reinforced bases; Pro-Billet models have aluminum bases.

Well I'm like darn, this isn't cheap at $226, why can't I get the aluminum base. Only comes for my motor on the ready to run models..which you still can use a CD box if you like. Then I seen it.......
...........

MSD Digital E-Curve Pro Billet Distributors
Set a centrifugal and vacuum advance curve electronically

......

This thing is sweet....no weights, springs, its all electronic..like the space age. It works so nice...I had all the advance coming in at 2500 rpms with 20 degrees, like 36 degrees total..was ok but it crank over a bit rough..just could hear the starter kicking back, so I pop off the dist cap, turn a tiny screw with a tiny screw driver and my advance is still all the way in at 2500 rpms but it backs off 25 degress not 20.

Has a built in rev limter to..no chips, a tiny switch again..have in at 6200 rpms and hit it once on the road..its pretty smooth, better than my 7 al box rev limter..

Its darn expensive all right..I can't believe I spent that much..but it has a patent too so the China guys can't sell them here..at least not yet..they will cause these are nice...my motor idles great now..was good, now its great and has more low end part throttle power too...thanks to the fast advance..it could be all in at 2000 rpms..can even have full advance at idle and has a start retard also but my tight convertor I'm not running it like that..

Check them out, only for Chevy and sb Fords and Mopars right now.

Got it off E-bay....I'm a E-bay nut, lol....its home made like....the air does not warp all around the filter, just goes in though the sides and I am running the fresh air in by thew wheel wheels openings.

Paid $50 total for it. Was a little let down when I seen it wasn't using the full filter but it did seem to help over my open 14 inch filter...now its a 318 with MP high swirl heads with 2.02 intakes--paid $300 for them off E-bay, was a buy it now and I seen it after only on for 1 hour and was close by-can you believe it/ a pro shop said they were fine jus need a few seats touch up, even the valve springs were new-they guy was making his Duster a 318 like it was when new  :roflsmiley: ...

I try to take it apart this week and post pictures of it...you need a open air filter top and bottom, 2 air ducts they sell at home depot and some thin sheet metal and black winkle paint...it has a Accel re-use able filter, so it would have cost me more to make it myself any how.
