Upgrade Your Old-School V8 with a Modern Edelbrock Max-Fire Distributor

If you’re still running a points-style distributor on your classic American V8 engine, consider upgrading to an Edelbrock Max-Fire Distributor. They have a high-output magnetic pickup and large paddle wheel reluctor to deliver a strong trigger signal at high RPM for maximum performance—no need to run an external ignition control box. The Max-Fire distributors have fully adjustable mechanical and vacuum advances, and a simple three-wire hookup makes installation easy.

Other features include:
• CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with O-ring grooves
• Centerless ground shaft with upper sealed roller bearing and extra-long bronze Oil-Lite lower bushing for smooth operation
• Cap and rotor are molded from 30% glass-filled polyester for durability and carbon tracking resistance
• Hardened iron drive gear for long service life
• Mechanical advance curve kit included

Edelbrock Max-Fire Distributors are available for these engines:
• Small and big block Chevy
• Chevy 348-409
• Ford 332-428 FE
• Small block Ford and 351 Cleveland
• Small and big block Mopar
• AMC 290-401
• Buick 215, 300-455
• Cadillac 368-500
• Olds 307-455
