Chrysler Big Block 413-440 V8 Pro Billet Distributor
This Pro Billet distributor is built for the Chrysler RB big block V8 family — 413, 426 Wedge, and 440 CID — and the 426 Street Hemi (1966–1971), using a magnetic pick-up trigger with mechanical-only advance for precise, consistent timing control in dedicated performance applications.
This distributor requires a separate ignition box (not included) and an external coil rated at 35,000+ volts (not included), along with a 12-volt electrical system with an alternator. It is not compatible with generator-based charging systems or vehicles still running a ballast resistor in the ignition circuit — the ballast resistor must be removed or bypassed before installation.
Engine fitment covers the Chrysler RB big block — 413 (6.8L), 426 Wedge (7.0L), and 440 (7.2L) CID — as well as the 426 Street Hemi (7.0L), commonly found in the Chrysler Imperial, New Yorker, Dodge Polara, Dodge motorhome chassis, and 1966–1971 Street Hemi applications.
Mechanical-Only Advance: What This Means for Tuning
This distributor uses mechanical advance only, with no vacuum advance canister — a common setup for dedicated performance and race applications where a fixed, RPM-based advance curve is preferred over a load-based vacuum advance curve.
Performance Benefit
The magnetic pick-up trigger and mechanical advance combination is built for dedicated performance and race applications where precise, adjustable timing control matters more than street convenience features like vacuum advance or a self-contained coil.
COMPATIBLE WITH
CHRYSLER BIG BLOCK "RB" V8
• 6.8 L / 413 in³
• 7.0 L / 426 in³ commonly referred to as "426 Wedge"

NOTES
• Fits Chrysler RB-series big block V8 engines (413, 426 Wedge, and 440) and 426 Street Hemi Gen. II engines.
• Not compatible with Chrysler B-series engines (350, 361, 383, 400) — B engines use a shorter deck height and different intake manifold.
• Not compatible with Gen. III Hemi (5.7L, 6.1L, 6.4L) — modern Hemi engines are not distributor-based.
• The 413 was used in passenger cars through 1965 only; truck and RV applications continued through 1979.
• Mechanical advance only — no vacuum advance canister.
• Requires an external ignition box — not included.
• Designed for carbureted ignition systems only.
• This distributor is designed for a 12 volt electrical system with an alternator and a performance ignition coil of 35,000 V or more.
• It is not compatible with a generator and cannot be used with a ballast resistor.
• Distributor gear is most compatible with cast iron hydraulic or solid flat tappet camshafts; consult cam manufacturer for recommended gear material.
