DISTRIBUTORS

Choose the Right Distributor for Your Build Not all air-cooled engines are the same, and neither are their ignition requirements. We stock a variety of distributors to match your specific engine and carburetor setup:

• 009 Centrifugal Advance: A favorite for performance builds and dual-carburetor setups, known for its reliable advance curve without the need for a vacuum signal.

• Vacuum Advance (SVDA): The ideal choice for stock or single-carburetor street engines, providing better throttle response and fuel economy through vacuum-assisted timing.

• Electronic Distributors: Say goodbye to points and condensers. Our electronic units offer a maintenance-free experience with a more consistent spark and improved cold-weather starting.

Engineered for Street, Strip, and Sand In the demanding environments of off-road racing and long-distance cruising, ignition failure is not an option. Our distributors are sourced for their durability and consistent performance. For Dune Buggy and Sand Rail owners, our electronic models are particularly effective at resisting the vibrations and dust that can often cause traditional points-style distributors to fail on the trail.
