Billet Sync Distributors

Some aftermarket EFI management computers fire the fuel injectors in the same order as the engine's firing order. These EFI systems are called synchronization systems. In order for the ECU to know which injector should be fired it requires a signal to reference the number one cylinder which is known as the synchronization, or sync, signal. MSD offers two complete distributors and a Universal Sync Kit to help you get the right signals at the correct time.

Adjustable Sync Signal Pro-Billet Distributor

These Distributors feature an adjustable Sync Pickup so you can set it to match your ECU’s requirements (up to 60° BTDC). This Sync pickup uses a powerful rare earth magnet for strong trigger signals and the wiring is routed through a Weathertight Connector for a positive locking, sealed connection.

Each Distributor housing is CNC machined from a billet of 6061-T6 aluminum creating a strong, precise housing. Each distributor features a small diameter cap to fit in tight engine compartments. There is an adjustable slip collar on the Chevrolet models that allows you to accurately set the distributor’s installation depth in the engine.

An oversized steel shaft spins in a sealed ball bearing at the top of the housing and an extra long sintered bushing at the bottom for added stability. To trigger the MSD Ignition, a high output magnetic pickup is signaled by a precision manufactured reluctor. This pickup never requires adjustment and is extremely accurate!

Crank Trigger Sync Distributor

If your application has limited space in the back of the engine due to the intake combination or firewall, this low profile distributor is for you!

The distributor uses a wide, Ford style cap to improve voltage distribution and to reduce the chances of ionization and spark scatter. The rotor also features thick vanes to stir up the air and is injection molded from Rynite for high dielectric strength. The base of the distributor is also molded out of Rynite and is bolted to a billet aluminum housing.

The sync pickup of this distributor is fixed at 45° BTDC on the number one cylinder. This signal will reliably alert your ECU as to when the number one cylinder is preparing to fire.

A 0.500" polished steel shaft is responsible for spinning the rotor and is guided by a sealed ball bearing guide and bushing. The distributor is ready to drop in your race engine from the bronze gear to the brass terminals of the cap.

Universal Cam Sync Pickup

This Universal Cam Sync Pickup Kit is supplied with a non-magnetic pickup and a magnet that you install to any part that operates at camshaft speed. When the magnet passes the pickup, a signal is created to alert the ECU of the position and firing order of the engine. Matching connectors are supplied and the magnet measures .250" x .200". You will need to fabricate a bracket assembly and install the magnet.
