Overview
Swapping out points or an old electronic distributor is the upgrade this billet unit is made for. A machined aluminum housing carries an upper ball bearing, a tempered steel shaft and a long bronze lower bushing, with the electronic module fitted at the factory.
The factory installed module means no points to adjust and a steady spark across the rev range. Only that engine family is covered, and the listing does not name the engine sizes or years.
Who it's for
Classic Pontiac owners tired of adjusting points can fit it and get steady timing. Owners of other V8 brands should not order it, and buyers wanting a specific coil pairing should check that separately.
Pros and cons
- Module installed at the factory
- Ball bearing and bronze bushing support
- Hand polished billet housing
- Vacuum advance included
- Engine sizes and years not listed
- Coil not mentioned
Performance notes
The upper ball bearing and long oil-impregnated bushing keep the shaft steady, which limits vibration at high rpm. Steadier shaft support means the timing signal stays consistent from idle to redline.
