Installation Instruction Manual
Parts Included:
1 - HEI Rotor
The  MSD  GM  HEI  Rotor  will  install  on  stock  GM  HEI  Distributors  and  the  MSD  Pro-Billet  HEI 
Distributor.
1. Remove the distributor cap. Remove the two screws on the side of the rotor and pull the rotor off.
2. Inspect the distributor advance mechanism, springs and weights for wear or damage.
Note:  If the distributor has aftermarket weights and bushings, interference between the bottom of the 
rotor and the bushing may result. To eliminate the chance of interference, remove approximately 
1/10" to 1/8" of the bushing (Figure 1).
Figure 1 Modifying Aftermarket Weight Bushings.
3. For improved protection against spark arc-through, apply a small amount of MSD Spark Guard in 
the rotor well area (Figure 2). This is not necessary, just added protection.
4. The Rotor will only install one way. Make sure the aligning slot lines up with the rotor plate mounting 
tab (Figure 2). Tighten the screws and install the cap and wires.
