Edelbrock Distributor AMC/Jeep V8 209-401 Ready To Run

Edelbrock is well-known for performance parts, and their Max-Fire distributors are a solid choice for upgrading your AMC or Jeep V8 engine. This Ready-to-Run distributor, part number 22765, is designed to replace points-style distributors and offers a straightforward installation with just a three-wire hookup. You won't need an external ignition control box, making the process much simpler. It fits a wide range of AMC and Jeep vehicles, from classic models like the AMX and Ambassador to Jeep trucks and SUVs like the J-2500 and Cherokee.

This distributor is built with precision machining for a perfect fit, featuring a CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum housing. Inside, a centerless ground shaft runs on a sealed roller bearing up top and a long bronze Oil-Lite bushing below for smooth operation. The high-output magnetic pickup and paddle wheel reluctor work together to provide a strong trigger signal, even at high RPMs, which helps maximize your engine's performance. The cap and rotor are made from durable, glass-filled polyester with brass contacts and a stainless steel rotor spring for good conductivity, and a hardened iron drive gear ensures it lasts.

You can also tune this distributor to your specific needs. It includes a mechanical advance curve kit and is fully adjustable for both mechanical and vacuum advance, which can help improve mileage potential. For the best results, Edelbrock recommends pairing it with one of their Max-Fire coils to ensure you're getting maximum voltage output to your ignition system.
