The MSD 8464 Bushing \u0026amp; Spring Set contains the internal wear components designed specifically for MSD billet and Pro‑billet distributors, allowing you to repair rather than replace the entire distributor housing. This reduces service cost while preserving precision timing and long-term durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the MSD 8464 kit replace inside the distributor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit supplies the internal bushings and springs that support the distributor shaft and control the mechanical advance.
