Chevy Small & Big Block V8 Pro Series Ready to Run Distributor with Fixed Collar and Female Cap

The TSP Pro Series Ready-to-Run Distributor with Fixed Collar and Female Cap for the Chevy SBC and BBC is a carbureted ignition distributor for the Gen. I Chevrolet small block V8 (262–400 CID) and the standard-deck Mark IV big block V8 (396, 402, 427, and 454 CID). Available in black finish only.

Female Cap: The female cap uses recessed socket terminals that accept male-pin spark plug wire boots. Verify your plug wire set uses male-pin boots before ordering. For male terminal cap versions, see JM7701-2 (fixed collar, male cap).

Fixed Collar: The fixed collar is permanently set on the distributor housing, providing structural body support and consistent positioning reference at the engine block. Timing is set using the standard hold-down method.

An external ignition coil rated at 35,000 volts or higher is required — coil not included. No external ignition box is required — the module is integrated. Distributor rotation is clockwise. Both mechanical and vacuum advance are included. Three advance bushings and four springs, a vacuum advance block-off plate, tachometer output extension cable, power extension cable, and color-matched plug wire retainer are included.

Not compatible with tall-deck BBC, governor-equipped applications, LS or Gen. III/IV engines, or EFI. Requires a 12-volt electrical system with an alternator. Not compatible with 6-volt systems, generators, or ballast resistors.

 

Female Cap vs. Male Cap
The female cap sockets accept male-pin plug wire boots. The companion male terminal version (JM7701-2) uses protruding pins that accept female-socket wire boots. Verify terminal gender of your plug wire set before ordering.
