Finally an answer for your AMC's worn out breaker points distributor! This Ready-to-Run Pro-Billet Distributor has a built-in inductive module that produces up to 7.5 amps to create a high voltage spark at the plug. This spark improves combustion of the fuel mixture resulting in quick starts, a smooth idle and great performance.
Since this distributor has its own ignition module there is no need to run an MSD Ignition Control. Installation of the distributor is simple with only three wires to connect with the supplied Weathertight harness.
Under the MSD cap there is a mechanical advance assembly that can easily be tuned to your engine's specifications. Different advance springs and stop bushings are supplied, giving you 24 curves to choose from. The Ready-to-Run AMC distributor also has a vacuum advance canister and is supplied with everything you need for installation!

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.
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.
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.
If you are in search of the best ignition system available in the market, then MSD is the brand for you. Tested by many enthusiasts and racers for years, MSD has proven to provide optimum performance in every vehicle.
