Oldsmobile V8 Pro Series Pro Billet Distributor
Upgrade your Oldsmobile second-generation V8 — 260, 307, 330, 350, 400, 403, 425, or 455 CID — with this Pro Series Pro Billet distributor, built with a magnetic pickup trigger for use with a compatible external ignition box and coil. This setup is designed for higher-output ignition systems on Cutlass, 442, Delta 88, Ninety-Eight, Toronado, and Vista Cruiser applications.
This distributor is designed for the second-generation Oldsmobile V8 and will not fit engines built before 1964. The housing is machined aluminum with a steel drive gear best matched to cast iron hydraulic or solid flat-tappet camshafts, and rotation is counterclockwise. Requires a compatible external ignition box and a coil rated at 35,000 volts or higher; also requires a 12-volt electrical system with an alternator and is not compatible with generator-based charging systems or vehicles still running an active ballast resistor in the ignition circuit — the resistor should be removed or bypassed as part of installation. Timing is set through mechanical advance only.
What Is a Pro Billet Distributor?
A Pro Billet distributor uses a magnetic pickup trigger but, unlike HEI or Ready-to-Run designs, requires a separate external ignition box in addition to an external coil rather than housing that control on board. This setup is common in higher-output or race-oriented ignition systems where the buyer wants to pair the distributor with a specific external box and coil combination rather than an all-in-one unit.
Performance Benefits
The magnetic pickup trigger delivers consistent, wear-free timing signal without the point drift of older breaker-point systems. Because the ignition box and coil are external and separately selected, this setup allows the ignition system to be matched to higher-output requirements than a self-contained distributor typically supports on the Oldsmobile second-generation V8 platform. Mechanical advance handles the timing curve, keeping the system straightforward to set up and tune.

NOTES
• Designed for second-generation Oldsmobile V8 applications — will not fit first-generation engines produced before 1964.
• The 330 was produced from 1964–1967; the 400 from 1965–1969 (and briefly in 1975 as a Pontiac-sourced engine); the 425 from 1965–1967; the 350 from 1968–1980; the 455 from 1968–1976; the 403 from 1977–1979; the 260 from 1975–1982; the 307 from 1980–1990.
• Designed for carbureted applications only.
• Requires an external coil with a minimum output of 35,000V — no separate ignition box required.
• This distributor is designed for a 12 volt electrical system with an alternator and a performance ignition coil of 35,000 V or more.Â
• 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 camshaft manufacturer for recommended gear material before installation.
