MSD Oldsmobile V8 Ready-to-Run Distributor - 8529
Diehard Oldsmobile enthusiasts have been asking about a Ready-to-Run

Distributor and here it is! Ready-to-Run means just that, drop it in the engine,

connect three wires and fire up your Olds.

Inside the billet aluminum housing there is a high-output inductive ignition

module that lights the spark. This module now has a built-in rev limiter to

protect your Olds from overrev demage. A polished steel shaft spins in the

center of this module and is guided by a sealed ball bearing for great stability.

Another great benefit of the MSD Ready-to-Run distributor is the mechanical

advance. The weights and assembly are fine-blanked from chromoly for

absolute precision resulting in smooth timing changes. You can set up a timing

curve to match your engine's specifications easily with the supplied advance

springs and bushings plus there is a vacuum advance for economy.

The Distributor is supplied with the MSD Cap, Race Rotor, wire retainer and gear.

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.
