{"product_id":"oldsmobile-v8-pro-series-ready-to-run-distributor-red","title":"Oldsmobile V8 Pro Series Ready to Run Distributor - Red","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis distributor is purpose-built for Oldsmobile's second-generation V8 engine family — 260, 307, 330, 350, 400, 403, 425, and 455 CID. Whether you're restoring a Cutlass, refreshing a 442, or building a carbureted Delta 88 or Ninety-Eight for street performance, this Pro Series Ready-to-Run distributor delivers reliable ignition without requiring a separate ignition box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circuit board ignition module pairs with a magnetic pickup trigger to hold timing steady, avoiding the wear and drift of a points-based system. Mechanical and vacuum advance give direct control over your advance curve, and this is a male-terminal, external-coil design — the coil is not included, and the setup requires a coil rated at 35,000 volts or higher, since keeping the coil external allows you to run a higher-output coil if your build calls for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machined aluminum housing pairs with a steel distributor gear, most compatible with cast iron hydraulic or solid flat-tappet camshafts — consult your camshaft manufacturer if your build uses a roller or specialty cam profile. Ready-to-run design simplifies installation: connect power, ground, and external coil, set base timing, and the distributor is operational.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned specifically for the Oldsmobile second-generation V8 engine — 4.3L\/260, 5.0L\/307, 5.4L\/330, 5.7L\/350, 6.6L\/400, 6.6L\/403, 7.0L\/425, and 7.5L\/455 CID.
