SBC/BBC Billet Dist. w/ Black Cap & Male Tower

The PERTRONIX IGNITION SBC/BBC Billet Distributor with Black Cap and Male Tower (D100710) is a plug-and-play ignition upgrade designed for small-block and big-block Chevy V8 engines. Built on PERTRONIX's proven Flame-Thrower technology, this billet distributor combines magnetic pickup reliability with vacuum advance capability, delivering the precision timing control modern and classic Chevy engines demand without requiring complex rewiring or computer integration.

The distributor features a billet aluminum construction for durability and heat dissipation, paired with a magnetic pickup system that generates a clean, consistent trigger signal to the ignition module. The vacuum advance function allows timing to advance under light-load conditions, improving fuel efficiency and throttle response across the RPM range. The HEI-style terminal accommodates standard ignition wires and delivers reliable spark delivery to all eight cylinders. At 5.75 lbs with compact overall dimensions (7.5 × 6 × 17 in), it installs in tight engine bays without requiring extensive modifications to existing engine bay geometry or bracket locations.

This distributor is ideal for street-driven classic Chevys, restorations, and performance builds where reliability and ease of installation are priorities. Whether restoring a 1960s muscle car, maintaining a weekend cruiser, or upgrading an older engine build, this unit eliminates the wear and timing inconsistencies of aging points-based systems while preserving the original engine's visual character. The black cap finish integrates seamlessly with engine bay cosmetics on stock and modified applications alike.
