The perfect upgrade for your ignition system, Max-Fire distributors from Edelbrock are ready to run out of the box. Ideal for replacing or upgrading from a points triggered distributor, they feature precision machining for a perfect fit along with a simple three-wire hookup for an easy installation (and no need to run an external ignition control box).

Max-Fire distributors use a centerless ground shaft with an upper sealed roller bearing and extra-long lower bronze Oil-Lite bushing for smooth operation. The high-output magnetic pickup and large paddle wheel reluctor deliver a strong trigger signal at high RPM for maximum performance. These features combine to provide unrivaled voltage to the coil—ensuring maximum performance from your engine. Each distributor includes a cap, rotor, retainer, and mechanical advance curve kit.

Consider pairing your Max-Fire distributor with a coordinating Edelbrock Max-Fire coil for maximum voltage output.

Features

  • CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum.
  • O-ring grooves for use in a fully machined engine block.
  • Cap and rotor are molded in quality 30% glass-filled polyester for durability and carbon tracking resistance.
  • Brass contacts and a stainless steel rotor spring for maximum conductivity.
  • Hardened iron drive gear for long service life.
  • Fully adjustable mechanical and vacuum advance for increased mileage potential.

  • 2:1 improvement over “points” in current fall time for increased coil output.
  • Rotating cobalt magnets trigger a Hall Effect integrated circuit: no points to burn or moving parts to wear out.
  • Epoxy molding makes our module impervious to dirt, oil, grease, and moisture.
  • Stable timing: no need for adjustment.
  • Legal in all 50 states and Canada (C.A.R.B. E.O. #D-57-22).
  • 1957-1974 GM Delco distributor

One good M deserves another.

Following the January 2015 acquisition of ACCEL Performance Group (maker of Mallory Ignition, Mr. Gasket, Hays, QuickTime, and others) by MSD Performance, the MSDP Group completed the planned merger of the Mallory and MSD lines to create the top ignition company in the automotive aftermarket.

As of March 31, the Mallory product line will no longer be produced; all Mallory products will be manufactured exclusively under the MSD brand. MSD will, however, continue to produce and service Mallory distributor replacement parts such as points, rotors, caps, and more than one hundred other items. In addition, MSD will continue repairing Mallory products and honoring all original Mallory warranties. Retailers, installers, and customers should direct Mallory warranty inquiries to MSD’s toll-free number: (800) 246-0270.

Mallory and MSD together bring more than a century of ignition innovation and expertise. The MSDP Group remains committed to leveraging the two brands’ combined resources to keep igniting their loyal customers.
