This is a new MSD 8485 VW Billet Distributor for the popular Type 1 engine. Using technology gained from building distributors for off-road and NASCAR racers, MSD offers this Billet Distributor for the popular Type 1 engine. A maintenance-free magnetic pick-up is responsible for triggering the MSD Ignition. This VW MSD Pro-Billet distributor shares the same CNC machining techniques as the rest of MSD’s distributor line. It features a housing that is machined from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum for durability and show-quality looks.

 

Their oversized shaft receives a QPQ coating for friction reduction and corrosion resistance, with the added strength of two sealed ball bearings that guide the shaft accurately at well over 10,000 rpm. An extra-long sintered bushing replaces the ball bearing at the bottom of some models. TIG-welded on top of the polished steel shaft is MSD's accurate mechanical advance assembly. The weights are supported by nylon pads, which allow the advance to operate smoothly throughout the rpm range. For all-out racing, the advance mechanism can also be easily locked out. To accurately trigger the ignition, a high-output magnetic pickup is bolted to the base. This pickup produces a precise trigger signal that will never vary more than one degree at any rpm. A durable gear can be installed for performance applications, and an MSD red cap with brass terminals and race rotor is supplied.
