Corvette owners can now replace their worn out Magna-Pulse distributors with this precision Pro-Billet Tach Drive Distributor. Advantages such as an accurate magnetic pick-up, oversized shaft, vacuum advance and a billet aluminum housing are just a few of the MSD advantages.

Inside the billet housing, a sealed ball bearing and long sintered bushing guide a 0.500" steel shaft for high rpm accuracy. A special reluctor is mounted to this shaft and is responsible for triggering the magnetic pick-up.

An adjustable mechanical advance assembly allows you to get the most performance out of your Vette's engine by custom tailoring a timing curve to fit your application.

The tach drive assembly is compact to clear the firewall and linkage. It can be repositioned easily to fit different applications plus has a grease fitting for lubrication.

Who is MSD Ignition?

MSD Ignition started back in 1970. Based in El Paso Texas, the company is known for creating quality ignition systems for various automobiles. Today, they are considered the leading company when it comes to the ignition system and has become a brand recognized all over the world.

Changing the Way Vehicles are Made

MSD has helped shape the automotive industry by being the first company in the world to conduct an experiment regarding Multiple Spark Discharge for a vehicle’s ignition system. It has been suggested by Engineers who were working on the White Sands Missile Range in Southern Mexico. They noticed that their quest for power is limited by the amount of spark the ignition system can only generate. Hence, the idea of Multi Spark Discharge.

Racing Application

Soon after the product introduction, racers started applying it to their race cars. Due to its success, other top teams started using MSD which helped paved the way for the brand’s popularity. The majority of the race engines today use MSD and have proven to produce race champions.

The company operates in a 100,000 square feet facility in Texas. They house some of the most state-of-the-art equipment that helps them create products that are superior in quality.
