Ignition Distributors

Daytona Sensors™ distributors are manufactured using advanced CNC machining techniques. They feature a two-piece housing that is machined from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum for durability and show-quality looks. The shaft receives a special coating for friction reduction and corrosion resistance, along with the added strength of two sealed ball bearings that guide the shaft accurately at well over 10,000 RPM.
TIG-welded on top and the pivot pins are stacked and TIG welded into place on the cam plate for reliable performance. The weights ride on nylon rub pads in the cam plate to ensure long-term smooth advance movement. Three (3) sets of advance springs and four bushings are supplied allowing the advance curve to be custom tailored to match the specific requirements of any engine.
For all-out racing, the advance mechanism can also be easily locked out. To accurately trigger the ignition, a high-output magnetic pickup is bolted to the base. This pickup produces a precise trigger signal that will never vary more than one degree at any RPM.
The Daytona Sensors™ black cap comes with a wire retainer and is made of 30% glass-filled polyester (PBT) which offers high-impact strength for improved long-term durability and extended service life. Cap features brass terminals and a race rotor is supplied.
Daytona Sensors™ distributors require the use of a separate ignition box such as the Daytona Sensors™ CD-1 Capacitive Discharge Ignition and Coil kit.
